Message from the Minister of Tourism

Heading for the Clouds in Gatineau!

The Government of Québec is proud to support the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival, a gathering that promises to deliver a memorable experience for all attendees. What an exceptional showcase for the talent of the artisans in our cultural and event industries!

Our summer festivals and events enhance our tourism offerings while shining a spotlight on Québec as a premier travel destination. Visitors are invited to discover the many attractions and activities that bring the Outaouais region to life at this time of year.

I warmly congratulate the members of the organizing team for bringing this wonderful event to life. I encourage both tourists and locals to take this opportunity to enjoy themselves and explore the region.

Enjoy the festival!

Caroline Proulx
