Festival Parasol returns to Hotel-Casino Lac-Leamy for 2026

From July 16 to 26, the Festival Parasol will once again transform the P5 parking lot of the Hotel-Casino Lac-Leamy into a true festive oasis in the heart of the Gatineau summer. Following a successful first edition under its new identity, the event promises an even more immersive experience this year with an enhanced music lineup and the addition of Sundays to the schedule!

Festival Parasol is keeping everything that made it a success: a full-on vacation atmosphere,

vibrant experiences, and a lineup designed to transport festivalgoers without ever leaving the Outaouais region. This year, festivities will also extend to Sundays, offering even more

opportunities to enjoy summer under the Parasol. Festivalgoers can once again expect the

must-attend themed nights, including the popular Country Night, Latin Fiesta, Beach Parties, and of course, the highly anticipated Piknic Électronik sessions.

New for 2026: Expanded Piknic Électronik Sessions

The collaboration with Piknic Électronik returns stronger than ever this year, featuring twice as many Piknic sessions to further energize electronic music fans. These expanded Sunday events promise electrifying evenings bringing together international artists and emerging talent in a unique open-air setting.

A Local and International Lineup Set to Light Up Gatineau

This year, Festival Parasol will welcome an impressive selection of local and international artists who will set the stage on fire from Thursday through Sunday. Confirmed artists for the themed nights include Phil Lauzon, Mike Clay, Eazy El Dee, Gayance, along with several local artists from Quebec and Ontario. The Piknic sessions will feature artists such as KARABA, CID, GUDFELLA, and Nico de Andrea. Between musical discoveries, sunsets, summer cocktails, and dance parties, Festival Parasol continues to establish itself as the must-attend summer event in the region.

Committed Partners

The event is made possible thanks to the support of the City of Gatineau, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as well as numerous public and private partners. Among them, the Hotel-Casino Lac Leamy serves as the presenting partner for the 2026 edition, alongside collaborating partner Desjardins and several official partners including Coca-Cola, Distillerie 3 Lacs, Tanguay, and Volkswagen de l’Outaouais.
