“For a second consecutive year, we are proud to present a significantly enhanced program. Les Grands Feux are no longer just an international pyrotechnics festival; they also include culinary experiences, artistic performances, digital and multimedia art installations and much more! It was important for us to create a program that would allow our participants to leave their everyday life at the door and immerse themselves in a magical universe that awakens their curiosity and senses for an evening,” explains Marc-Antoine Massicotte, CEO of Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy.
If you really want to go all in, consider booking the Gourmet Evening that includes a four-course meal before the fireworks show (offered on Saturdays only). Want something a little less formal? Pre-order a picnic box or choose something from Les Grands Feux’s Incandescent restaurant, featuring themed meals prepared by local chefs.
