We do not record the number of entries either in the youth zone or in the entertainment zone at Vieux-Quai en Fête, but only for the fireworks there were thousands of people in the park along Arnaud Street. The foam party this Sunday, the return of Kalembourg following Louis-Jean Cormier’s show and the festive evening on Saturday add to the magical moments of the event in Sept-Îles.
The financial report will come later, but there has certainly been no deficit or overflow, assures the treasurer Sébastien Scherrer who believes that the diversity of programming for both families and adults makes the mission of Vieux-Quai en Fête is well accomplished.
The number of spectators increased every evening. To highlight its 30e anniversary, one of the major partners of the Vieux-Quai en Fête, Aluminerie Alouette, offered the most spectacular fireworks in the history of the city with firecrackers sent from both shores of the bay of Sept-Îles.
The president of the board of directors Joannie Francoeur-Côte is also proud of all the work during this 28e edition, which records passport sales records.
The weather was favorable with four generally sunny days for Vieux-Quai en Fête. Joannie Francoeur-Côté pays tribute to volunteers. The members of its board of directors, the organizing committee and other Septilians have provided hundreds of volunteer hours.
