With the arrival of March, we dream of spring skiing and all that comes with it: shredding the slopes in the sun, après-ski on the terrace, a light coat; you know what we're talking about. So here are some events to celebrate the arrival of spring as it should be!

What is it about?
The winter music festival that has been making Montreal vibrate for 13 years is settling for the first time in Massif de Charlevoix for a special event. You can count on a dream lineup with Loud, the Quebec rapper who animated summer nights with his hit "Toutes les femmes savent danser," as the headliner. The concert coincides with the Massif Open event, which celebrates the mountain's history in the spirit of the 80s. A festive weekend guaranteed!
When? March 23, 2019
Where? Le Massif de Charlevoix, 1350 Rue Principale, Petite-Rivière-Saint-François
