Laval, June 12, 2024 – From August 15 to 18, 2024, the MOSAÏQUE Festival will bring the Chomedey neighborhood to life! With a new venue, satellite events, and indoor performances, the fourth edition of this community-building event promises to be a memorable one.

A westward migration

In keeping with the mission of La Centrale, the organization behind MOSAÏQUE, the festival is taking place in a setting that lends itself to gathering and celebration. In partnership with COMINAR, Centropolis will host four days of completely free festivities, showcasing the diversity of artistic expressions in today’s cultural scene. A few days before the festivities begin, on July 26, 2024, a launch party will take place at Centropolis. For the occasion, MOSAÏQUE invites the public to discover the musically liberated world of French-Japanese singer, flutist, songwriter, composer, and arranger Maïa Barouh.

In addition, the Momo cultural hub, presented by the City of Laval, will host a series of events organized by MOSAÏQUE on Fridays, September 6, 13, and 20, 2024. Located in the Place Bell public square, this welcoming and colorful pop-up space will host three evenings of music and festivities dedicated to celebrating cultural diversity through the arts.

MOSAIC (indoor)

For the first time in four years, the MOSAÏQUE Festival is moving indoors for a vibrant program, in partnership with Co-Motion. In September, MOSAÏQUE presents a lecture by renowned choreographer and solo performer Rhodnie Désir (September 22) and a performance by the magnificent JIREH Gospel Choir (September 28) at the Théâtre Marcellin-Champagnat. On September 27, Co-Motion is also taking the opportunity to partner with the MOSAÏQUE Festival by presenting the multicultural musical evening Famille en fête, in collaboration with the organization Fanmi se Fanmi, which works to expand Quebec’s artistic community by including more artists from diverse cultural backgrounds. Tickets for these three in-person performances are on sale now through the Co-Motion box office.

The MOSAÏQUE Laval Festival would not be able to offer so many free cultural experiences without the support of its exceptional financial partners. La Centrale would like to thank the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Heritage Canada, the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, the City of Laval, Co-Motion, and FPI Cominar.
