<br />
From June 9 to 18, FrancoFans can revel in a record number of never-before-seen spectacles, events and premieres by artists who, now more than ever, have adopted the Francos as the platform to launch their new material. <br />
<br />
Catherine Ringer with her first solo album since the loss of her man, Fred Chichin; Mara Tremblay, also solo, and utterly intimate; a heaven-sent event with Ferland, stepping out of his den to revitalize a landmark album in the Québécois discography; Daho and Moreau, an unlikely but compelling couple that breathes new life into a firebrand poem; Béatrice Bonifassi with her new project; Daran, accompanied by a… comic book artist; the ever-surprising Éric Lapointe, who makes a dream come true by performing with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal… and makes another come true for his fans, who absolutely cannot miss this unique event; the grand premiere of Gerry, the highly-anticipated film on the Québécois rock icon; a concert tribute to poet Serge Gainsbourg, directed by Pierre Lapointe; Akhénaton, who flies out of the IAM fold to soar on his own… Moreover, fans will be thrilled to learn that the largest event devoted to the music of the francophone world, presented for an 8th consecutive year by Ford of Canada, will also offer a particularly strong hip hop program this year, featuring the finest mic-rocking MCs from here and abroad. <br />
<br />
Tickets for these indoor shows are now on sale.</span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For details about </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #000000;">Les FrancoFolies de Montréal</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> visit the official web site at <a href="http://www.francofolies.com/default-en.aspx">/www.francofolies.com/default-en.aspx</a></span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">For more information about other top events and festivals in Québec, visit the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1501743828"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #1e00a8; text-decoration: underline;"> </span></a><a href="http://www.topeventscanada.com/quebec-canada-events-festivals.html"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #1e00a8; text-decoration: underline;">annual events and festivals page about Quebec at Top Events Canada</span></a>. <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br />

Founded in 1861 by Father Albert Lacombe, St. Albert is celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year. Fittingly, its festivals and attractions are bigger than ever before. </div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The St. Albert International Children's Festival from May 31 to June 4 celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year. One of North America's longest running and biggest children's festivals, this year's show will be made even more exciting with its largest production to date: a French-Canadian style cirque: Viaggio by iL CiRCo. </span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Festival director Nancy Abrahamson calls it "an inspiring journey to a surreal world with whimsical characters, original music, and artful choreography." And by the latter, she means modern-day acrobatics that display awe-inspiring and downright superhuman acts of strength. </span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The festival showcases some of the world's best children's performers from all around the world: actors, dancers, puppeteers, clowns and storytellers from Australia, Germany, Mexico, the United States and Canada. Abrahamson refers to it all as "a cultural kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and one-of-a-kind performances." </span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Another must-see attraction in St. Albert is the newly opened Enjoy Centre, a project by Hole's. This massive 242,000 square foot facility holds: a huge greenhouse with trees, shrubs, perennials, bedding plants and floral studio; a bistro with an espresso and wine bar; an events space for weddings and conferences; and by the end of June, a wine store, European spa, food store, deli, home décor store, kitchen store and bakery. </span></div><div style="color: #213a64; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">For details about the International Children’s Festival visit the official web site at <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.childfest.com/">www.childfest.com</a></span></span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #232323; font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">For more information about other top events and festivals in Alberta, visit the<a href="http://www.topeventscanada.com/alberta-canada-events-festivals.html"> Alberta annual events and festivals page at Top Events Canada</a> </span></div>Top Events USAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12146488191614925316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179195991080492676.post-71471256795689830112011-05-10T08:19:00.000-07:002011-05-10T08:19:01.423-07:00Maritime Countryfest<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The Maritime Countryfest announces five more acts to join Dr. Hook & the Stampeders for the annual country music festival to be held at the Historic Garrison District (Officers Square) in downtown Fredericton, NB on June 9, 10 and 11, 2011.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfy7mjC-_sMoGLYe8MPd4E9OF5UQ9hpRCSg45eZLRhiuUNrbUUPE_K973ErSaHYaZCDeIUYAomWld3vle9NUOOtEufWXEbVKqdRb9NOXGMBby6uQXarz9RwzNjEQc3utsN4pAAguRVKhZn/s1600/drhook.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfy7mjC-_sMoGLYe8MPd4E9OF5UQ9hpRCSg45eZLRhiuUNrbUUPE_K973ErSaHYaZCDeIUYAomWld3vle9NUOOtEufWXEbVKqdRb9NOXGMBby6uQXarz9RwzNjEQc3utsN4pAAguRVKhZn/s200/drhook.jpeg" width="200" /></a><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">These include the Durty Nellys, known as one of the hottest, cutting edge pub/Celtic bands the Maritimes has to offer; the group Mason’s Tender combine Acadian and Irish folk tunes with a rock sensibility; Melanie Morgan who has b</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #2c2320;">een described as one of the most exciting new voices to hit the Canadian Country scene; and </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Kevin Davison, New Canadian Country Music Artist from Nova Scotia Canada.<br />
