Discover what’s new at the festive 405 Park

For a fourth consecutive summer, Le 405 Park is back in full force with an extensive line-up of activities and entertainment. This enchanting site will be ready to welcome visitors from July 8 to August 25 with completely revamped waterfront amenities. La Guinguette, a terrace overlooking the Vaudreuil Bay, will be the perfect place to enjoy a drink by the water. On Thursdays, starting at 6 p.m., a DJ will be on site to help create a festive atmosphere in this section of the park, with each week dedicated to a different musical style (Classic House, Nü Disco, Afro Beats, etc.).

“Since its creation, Le 405 Park has been a source of joy and happiness for our citizens, and we wanted to offer them something new to enjoy at the water’s edge. La Guinguette was born out of our desire to add a new section to the park where visitors could take advantage of the breathtaking views of the Vaudreuil Bay. On Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m., the space will come alive with music as well as new mocktail and cocktail bars,” explains Vincent Bastien, Director of the Leisure and Culture Department.

This summer, events at Le 405 Park will be spread over four days, held specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The $5 creative workshops will be back on Mondays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Residents over the age of 18 can reserve a spot on the City’s website or by calling 450-455-3371, Option 4, starting on the Monday before the workshop’s planned date. They will be able to choose from a variety of activities such as an introduction to engraving, string art, dry pastel, mixology, realistic drawing, the creation of a terrarium ($20) and line dancing. 

The Intrépide Cabaret d'Improvisateurs improv league will continue to hold its popular competitions at Le 405 Park on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. After enjoying a drink at La Guinguette, visitors will be able to watch the performances starring three comedians on Thursdays at 8 p.m. Improv participants include: Rolly Assal, Liliane Blanco-Binette, Richardson Zéphir and Étienne Dano. Douaa Kachache, Simon Boisvert and Dave Morgan will kick things off on July 11.

Six festive evenings of concert performances will also take place on Fridays. The themes are as follows: Disco Night featuring Nightclub (July 12), Bob Marley Tribute featuring The One Love Project (July 19), Country Night featuring The Bounty Hunters (August 2), Elton John Tribute featuring Elton Songs (August 9), Latin Night featuring Melao (August 16) and a special evening featuring DJ Kingdom to wrap things up (August 23). On the evenings of August 2 and 16, those interested will be able to take part in a dance class at 6:30 p.m.

The Artefact Festival will also be returning to Le 405 Park on July 26 and 27 with a musical line-up featuring up-and-coming artists. From August 1 to 3, the BroueFest, presented by the Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, will join the regular 405 line-up of events and will feature ten craft microbreweries, gourmet food trucks and fun games for the whole family.
