The festival
A village of 4,000 inhabitants becomes the capital of the country: boots, hats and rodeos as far as the eye can see. Founded in 1967, the largest western attraction in eastern Canada: a village of about 4,000 inhabitants that hosts hundreds of thousands of visits, with almost closed-door rodeos (about 75,000 spectators at the 10 rodeos in 2026).
