A word from the ministers

For 20 years, the Festival Musique du Bout du Monde has been a source of great pride for Gaspésie! Let's celebrate 20 years of musical, festive and unifying events, each of which showcases the talent of artists from here and abroad. Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED) is proud to be associated with a festival that stimulates tourism and the regional economy.

As Minister responsible for CED, I salute and congratulate the organizers and volunteers who contribute to the success of this not-to-be-missed annual event celebrating musical diversity in breathtaking panoramas. I wish festival-goers unforgettable encounters and discoveries!

The Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada

Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED

Twenty years of music: that's the challenge that the Festival Musique du Bout du Monde has brilliantly met! With its unique ability to bring together people from all walks of life, it occupies an important place in the region's cultural landscape. It's the perfect place to make new discoveries, celebrate our rich diversity and let yourself be carried away by the passion of our creators.

I would like to thank all those who contribute to the success of this great celebration of the arts. In addition to providing a wonderful showcase for artists from near and far,
you offer the public the chance to enjoy memorable cultural experiences. Enjoy the show!
