Our Theme: Meetings and Encounters

For thousands of years, Québec has been a natural meeting place for encounters great and small, historic and contemporary.

Encounters between Europe and North America, First Nations and settlers, France and England. The confluence of a mighty river and a chain of mountains, of fresh and salted waters, of Upper and Lower Town, of venerable old stones and modern glass walls. A rendez-vous for lovers charmed by the city with its hospitable residents and visitors from the world over.

This succession of encounters has left its mark on Québec City and on its landscape, architecture, culture, economy, population and lifestyle. Today we celebrate the founders’ choice to establish Québec City here where so many memorable meetings and encounters are made possible.

This is the essence of the programming for Québec City’s 400th anniversary: sharing this historic and contemporary crossroads of memorable encounters with all comers.
