Évenement
From March 23 to 26, for its 11th edition, Cabane Panache will set up its camp on Wellington Street and the biggest maple and wood party in town will make you want to party hard!
What could be better than festive music to get your rubber boots jiggling, good food to fill your belly, spirits to quench your thirst and good maple taffy on snow to glue your mittens together? 🧤
This year, we’re preparing an edition that will transport you back to the good old days of big feasts and long evenings! We’re starting up the boilers again and as the temperature rises, the sap makes its way to the camp where lumberjacks, cooks, giguers and coureurs des bois are ready to welcome the whole company to tap their feet and sweeten their beaks.
Get your plaid coat ready, it’s going to be a swingin’ good time!
The main stage music lineup and menus just came out of the boiler, beware, it’s still hot! 🔥
