Every late June, the Poutine Fest Mirabel transforms the Val-d'Espoir area into a major gourmet gathering. This stop of the Grand PoutineFest, a tour celebrating poutine throughout Quebec since 2015, brings together food trucks, shows, and activities for the whole family. Here's what you need to know to plan your visit.
The Grand PoutineFest in Mirabel: An Annual Event
The Grand PoutineFest has been stopping in Mirabel for several years, at the Cultural Center of the Val-d'Espoir complex (17700, rue du Val-d'Espoir). The tour includes more than 20 stops per year across the province. In 2026, for its 11th edition, the festival visited 21 cities, its largest tour to date.
2026 Edition and Next Edition
The 2026 edition in Mirabel took place at the end of June, with two dinner show evenings:
- Friday, June 26: La Chicane;
- Saturday, June 27: Éric Lapointe, a legend of Quebec rock, headlined.
The dates for the 2027 edition have not yet been announced. To stay updated, keep an eye on the Mirabel page on the official Grand PoutineFest website or the news from Tourisme Mirabel.
On the Menu: Poutines for All Tastes
The heart of the event is, of course, poutine. Fries, cheese, and gravy come in all forms: more than fifteen gourmet poutines on the menu, including versions with lobster, smoked meat, ribs, or General Tao. Fans of new flavors will also find unique creations each year.
New in 2026: a tasting formula on Friday night, with five appetizer-sized poutines to share.
