Évenement

From March 20 to 23, 2025, Cabane Panache festival, in collaboration with Benelux, Coureur des Bois, Fizz and Brique Recyc, returns to Promenade Wellington for the 13th edition of the biggest maple and wood party in town, as part of Verdun’s 150th anniversary celebrations. For the occasion, the camp is expanding and getting ready to get you swinging like never before!

This year, get ready for a celebration of sugar time, Quebec culture and its many heritages, with festive music that will get your toes tapping and your pelvis moving! There’ll also be culinary specialties concocted especially for the event, plenty to quench your thirst, and plenty of lumberjack-style entertainment throughout the camp.

The full program will be released on February 4, so stay tuned!

Mark your calendars and get ready for 4 days of mouth-watering festivities!

 

 

OUR SPOKESPERSON

We’re very proud to announce that chef Jean-Michel Leblond, aka. John Mike, will be the official spokesperson for Cabane Panache 2025! Owner of the Tripes & Caviar restaurant on Promenade Wellington from 2013 to 2016, he’s been holding Verdun and Rue Wellington close to his heart ever since! You can catch him on his own ”chef John Mike” show on Zeste or listen to his latest EP Good to the Bone on streaming platforms.

He embodies the very essence of the event, and will bring his energy and passion to the biggest maple and wood party in town! Yeehaw! 🤠🪕

 

“Verdun has always held a special place in my life, both personally and professionally. I had the honor of being part of it with my first restaurant Tripes et Caviar, and today it’s with great emotion that I become associated with this event that celebrates culinary art, culture and community. I’m convinced that the 13th edition of Cabane Panache will be an extraordinary experience, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Jean-Michel Leblond
