*****À regarder avec la cliente******
Please note that visitors aged 17 or under must be accompanied by an adult AT ALL TIMES. Everyone is admitted under the tents, however we strongly suggest not bringing young children, due to the noise and the crowds.
Children under 2 years of age can watch rodeos and shows free of charge, but must remain seated on their parents without affecting other spectators. We strongly recommend that toddlers wear hearing protection due to the constant loud noise. Some rodeos offer the Le Lait Family Package (2 adults + 2 children, 2+ to 12 years old).
At the Ticket Office, in specially marked Sheriff Star booths, and at the Festival’s Official Gift Shop, 454 St-Joseph Blvd. The star is required to access the various tents and patios (Ranch SAQ, Saloon Hydro-Québec, Countrythèque Cogeco and Coors Town) except during paid events (Refer to the schedule in the Program).
It is possible to buy a half-and-half ticket at one of the six official Festival outlets. Every evening, the winning ticket will be drawn at 7 p.m. If you have the winning number, go to one of the points of sale to claim your prize.
