Every corner of the La Baie Park will be buzzing with activities, entertainment, and suprises, so that each family member finds something they enjoy, no matter their age or interests. In addition to the Lift–off Area, the Desjardins Family Zone, and the Subaru OutaouaisChill Zone, a fourth space will welcome activities for all ages: the Detour!
Here is a look at the complete activity schedule:
NIGHT GLOW: Wednesday to Sunday | around 7:45 pm
Location: Lift-off area
Don’t forget In the evening and at dawn, more than twenty hot air balloons will fill the Gatineau sky with colour. The hot air balloon flights, presented by Le Droit, will take place each evening around 6:30 pm. From Thursday to Sunday, the public will be able to access the FMG site for free in the morning around 6:30 am to enjoy the morning flights. In the evening, the balloons will light up the La Baie Park during the night glow, weather permitting. Special-shaped balloons will be joining the Super FMG balloon and will be revealed soon.
