Grands Feux Loto-Québec
30 years of magic — the fires that unite Quebec and Lévis · Place des Canotiers, Québec and Quai Paquet, Lévis — Saint-Laurent River, Quebec, Canada
The festival
Since 1995, the Grands Feux Loto-Québec have made the St. Lawrence River a scene: drawn from a barge in the centre of the river, their pyromusical international shows unite the two banks, Place des Canotiers à Québec and Quai Paquet à Lévis. For their 30th edition, from August 4 to 22, 2026, eight thematic evenings — from Rock 'N' Roll to the grand anniversary final — are animating both docks from 6 p.m. before the 22:00 p.m. fire.
The event, free of charge, has been organized since 2012 by Les Créations Pyro, a Quebec-based OBNL, and attracts 1.3 million visitors every year according to the organizer.
