Sunrise show at Cap Bon-Ami with Festival Musique du Bout du Monde.
Culture and entertainment Nature
Sandra Sebastian Time: 04:45 AM - 07:00 AMLocation(s): Forillon National ParkAysanabee is an alternative indie artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer-songwriter who has won two JUNO Awards. He is Oji-Cree, from the Sucker Clan of the Sandy Lake First Nation in north-western Ontario. With a swirling mix of rock, soul and electronic sounds, as well as heart-stirring fingerpicking, Aysanabee’s music is both anthemic and cathartic.
No show tickets will be sold on-site. Ticket holders must pay park admission fees to access the venue. The show starts at 4:45 am.
It is recommended to bring a chair, blanket, and a thermos!
The entrance booth at the North sector of the park will be open all night. Cap-Bon-Ami is accessible from 3:20 am.
Out of respect for the artists performing, dogs are not allowed on any of the paying venues at the Festival Musique du Bout du Monde. This includes the Cap-Bon-Ami sunrise show, which becomes an outdoor stage for the duration of the performance. Only assistance dogs, duly identified as such, are permitted.
In case of rain, the show may still go on.
