La Ronde changes its opening hours
The International des Feux Loto Québec is back at La Ronde this summer

Two recruitment campaigns take place in the year, in February in view of the summer and towards the end of July, the beginning of August in preparation for the fall, explained Karina Thevenin, who invites people to consult the calendar on the site. de La Ronde in order to properly plan their visit.
For now and until August 21, La Ronde opens at 10:30 a.m. and closes at 7 or 8 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, except on fireworks Wednesdays and Saturdays, when the place is accessible from 2 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. At the end of August, the family destination will only welcome crowds on weekends, as usual.
