Feux follets
Lights on China
Parc Jean-Drapeau will be hosting Feux follets for the first time, a public walkway that lasts two and a half hours starting at dusk, 7 days a week.
Much more than a festival of Chinese lanterns, Feux follets awaits you with an array of nearby shows featuring contortionists, acrobats, fire-breathers, musicians and singers, both actual and virtual.
The walkway also includes 3D holographic animations (notably on a giant water screen), various interactive areas and stories that will spring to life through Chinese shadow puppets.
