This performance is being sponsored through a generous grant from the Québecois Government.
The 26th annual Christmas Revels tunes up to celebrate in French-Canadian style with Québécois singing, dancing, music and tales. Join the acclaimed Revels Company (over 75 performers, ages 8-70) on this journey through the deep winter woods to the settlement of Trois Rivières, where villagers gather to greet the New Year and the legends of the Voyageurs and their Flying Canoe come to life! Three internationally renowned performers from Québec -- step dancer Pierre Chartrand, fiddler Éric Favreau, and accordion master Stéphane Landry -- are the featured guest artists and tradition-bearers for this joyous, colorful show, sure to have you tapping your toes and singing along in true Revels fashion!
