Chairman’s message

For a 47th time, the Festival acadien de Caraquet is pursuing its mission of promoting Acadian culture by opening its stage to artists from the worldwide Francophonie. This year, the Festival starts off strongly with a great roster in Week 1 and then joins forces with the Acadian World Congress in Week 2 to present francophone artists who will rock the Acadian Peninsula. This is our way of ensuring that the Acadian culture resonates around the world. All this festive and diversified programming is provided thanks to the unconditional support of our partners and the participation of audiences whose numbers keep growing each year! Special thanks also go to all the employees and volunteers of Festival acadien who ensure that the Festival remains a major event for the Canadian Francophonie. Acadia is partying again! Join us.
