Is this the end of the world, or the beginning?

Is this the end of the world, or the beginning?

I love the idea that in Gaspé, the music, the words, the atmosphere, and the blend of influences create a moment of grace at this festival, which is now in its 22nd year thanks to the support of dedicated volunteers.

I like to hope that from this moment of grace emerges more than well-being, something like a furious longing for humanity and a desire for a new world to begin from Gaspé.

I leave it up to everyone to dream it, and do it.

For Gaspésie is a land of freedom.
