Festival Parasol 2026

Festival Parasol ran July 16–26, 2026 at the grounds of the Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau. Formerly known as Festibière de Gatineau (and sometimes listed in English as Gatineau Brewfest), the event was rebranded in 2025 to reflect an expanded lifestyle-and-beverage programming beyond beer alone. The 11-day format ran across two long weekends and was built around themed sessions — Themed Thursdays, Party Fridays with beach vibes, family-friendly Saturday afternoons, and Piknic Électronik electronic-music sessions to close. On offer were 150+ beers from local and international brewers, products from Quebec distilleries, a wine bar, and non-alcoholic discoveries, alongside food trucks and headline musical performers rotating through each session. This edition has concluded. Watch festivalparasol.ca for the 2027 announcement.
