About ten guests will be on stage under the direction of Antoine Gratton. Regulars like Richard Séguin and Marjo, but also up-and-coming artists like Lou-Adriane Cassidy and Scott-Pien Picard.
Salebarbes, Florent Vollant, Mélissa Bédard, Jérôme 50, Laura Niquay, Breen Lebœuf and Sara Dufour will also be part of the show, which revolves around the theme “Our language with a thousand accents”.
The traditional patriotic speech will be delivered by this year’s National Day spokesman, Marc Labrèche.
For their part, Marco Calliari and Pépé will have the task of heating up the audience with his guitar at the beginning of the evening. Starting at 6:30 p.m., they wait for Quebecers on the Plains to bring them a performance that revisits local classics.
The party will also be celebrated on the Grande-Allée, which will be transformed into a pedestrian street for the occasion. From 3pm to 6pm, the street comes alive with the Kumpa’nia brass band and artists from the Flip Fabrique circus.
The Grand spectacle de la fête national will be broadcast on Télé-Québec on June 23 at 9:30 p.m. and will be broadcast again at the same time on June 25.
