Don't miss Gardens of Light!
From August 29 to November 2
For its 13th edition, the site’s three cultural gardens will be brilliantly illuminated come sunset, revealing the fantastical beings hidden within.
The Chinese Garden presents a captivating new creation inspired by the Shan Hai Jing tale—the Classic of Mountains and Seas and a cornerstone of Chinese mythology. The celestial goddess Xiwangmu gathers with legendary creatures around the Jianmu, the sacred tree that connects heaven and earth. A poetic tableau that celebrates the timeless harmony between living beings and the natural world.
In the heart of the pine grove, a monumental projection drawing on emblematic elements of Japanese culture brings the landscape to life: birds seem to take flight across the rocks, fish emerge from the foliage and mountains rise on the waterfall wall—all set to the spellbinding sound of a flute that enchants evening visitors.
The illuminated path through the First Nations Garden beckons you on an immersive, poetic journey into the circle of life, carried by the sound of fluttering wings, the voice of Innu poet Joséphine Bacon and the songs of Moe Clark.
