Described in a press release as a "world-class pyromusical event," the Grands Feux consists of "high-precision performances" that launch from a barge between Quebec City and Lévis.
Spectators can view the firey spectacle from both the north and south shores, with optimal viewing from the Place des Canotiers and Quai Paquet, respectively. The festival is promising additional entertainment at both sites beginning at 6 p.m. before each show.
Organizers say more details about this year's themes and entertainment program are forthcoming.
Past editions have drawn more than 730,000 visitors.
Montreal's fireworks festival, the International des Feux Loto-Québec, has yet to announce its 2023 dates.
