Calendar of events

The only festival in North America solely dedicated to masks in all its forms, our biennial will be in its 8th edition from May 27 to June 4, 23. It takes place in rural areas in several villages of the MRC des Sources in Estrie and offers a diverse and varied program (performing arts, visual arts, circus arts, conferences,...) aimed at specialists, laymen and curious people of all ages. We are a small team composed mainly of volunteers. This year, in the village of Saint-Adrien (550 inhabitants), we offer a thematic day around science fiction masks in general and Star Wars in particular. We hope you are here to introduce young and old to the heroes of Star Wars in the flesh and your work on costumes. On the program, among others, of this thematic day: the film "Let the fan be with you" by Marc Joly Corcoran, the show by Jérémie Larouche "The saga of the stars" and a montage of short excerpts from films with masked heroes of series z proposed by the Nanarland team in Paris. We very much hope to see some masked members of the Garrison of the Imperial Fortress arrive at home to complete this program! We take care of your transport costs as well as the evening meal.

One of the city's most anticipated spring events, Montreal's 198th St. Patrick's Day Parade is made possible by the United Irish Societies of Montreal, which has been organizing the procession since 1928. We once again have the honor of being part of the parade!

The Shawicon is a nice small convention that takes place in Shawinigan. It is organized by a friend of the club, Nino Mancuso, who always welcomes us like royalty. Traditionally, it was our third biggest event of the year after the Montreal and Quebec City comiccons.

For those who don't know, the Montreal mini-comiccon is organized by the same promoters as the "big" comiccon in July. But this is a more restricted version. The merchant room is smaller and there are usually no special guests or conferences. It's basically a big room full of merchants, artists, and cosplayers.

Make way for a brand new edition of the Christmas parade, we are pleased to announce that we have been invited once again to participate in this superb event. The whole thing consists of a walk lasting approximately 2h15 that will consist of dozens of unique groups, such as fairies, the circle of the sun, and not to mention Santa Claus himself!The parade, which takes place along Sainte-Catherine Street West, begins at 11 a.m. at Du Fort Street and ends at Place des Arts at 1:30 p.m. The journey is 2.3 km.Sainte Catherine Street will be completely closed at 9:30 a.m.

Montreal's ToyCon offers attendees the latest in Funko pop, action figures, statues, plush toys, high-end collectibles, comics and much more. The convention attracts a ton of sellers, fans, and collectors, as well as Lego creators and cosplayers who give the event an extra flavor. This is a great opportunity for fanboys and fangirls to get their dose of pop culture.

The Salon du jeu et du jouet is a major event in Quebec City and this year, the organizers are aiming big, with more than 8,000 people expected.The event brings together different playful universes: video games, board games, tagball, escape games, toys... The goal is to make visitors play through the booths of our exhibitors but also the many animated play areas. Following the success of our presence last year, they are asking us again!
