In Laval, culture is everywhere.
It comes to life in parks, brings public squares to life, fills neighborhoods with the energy of live performances, and transforms streets into open-air galleries. That’s the spirit of the campaign Culture Thrives Everywhere : celebrating a city where the arts are part of everyday life, through a rich, accessible, and surprising program of events.
But in Laval, there’s another kind of culture that’s also taking root just about everywhere: the culture of the land.
After attending a concert, exploring an art installation, or strolling through a festival, why not continue your day at one of the farms that have shaped the Laval landscape for generations? Here, the two cultures complement each other perfectly.
All summer long, Laval becomes a huge open-air stage.
The Music Zones fill several neighborhoods across the city with music, inviting visitors to discover artists in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The performances take place where you’d expect them… and sometimes where you wouldn’t.
In the city center, the Momo Cultural Station transforms Place Bell into a gathering spot where concerts, dance, circus acts, DJ sets, theater, and artistic performances take place throughout the summer. Between shows, you can relax in a hammock, enjoy the green spaces, or simply spend time with friends. More than 40 free activities are offered there.
Add to that the festivals, exhibitions, public art, and numerous summer events, and you have a destination where culture awaits you at every turn.
A few kilometers further on, the scenery changes completely.
The scenes give way to fields, and paintbrushes to harvest baskets, but the experience remains just as authentic.
At the Marineau Farm, summer means pick-your-own, fresh produce, artisanal ice cream, farm animals, and walks through the fields. For over a century, this family-run business has been sharing Laval’s agricultural expertise in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The Forget Farm is another wonderful opportunity to sample local specialties and meet the people who farm the land with passion. Depending on the season, you can explore the harvests, farm products, and the simple pleasure of a visit to the countryside… without leaving Laval.
Why choose between a cultural outing and a culinary getaway?
Imagine your day.
In the morning, you'll attend a performance by Les Zones Musicales.
In the afternoon, you'll head out to a farm to pick berries or stock up on local products.
Then, in the evening, head back to downtown to experience the festive atmosphere at the Momo Cultural Center.
In Laval, it takes just a few minutes to go from an outdoor setting to a field of flowers.
What makes Laval unique is precisely this sense of community.
In just one day, you can discover emerging artists, attend an outdoor concert, meet a local producer, savor freshly harvested produce, and end the evening under the stars in the heart of a vibrant cultural hub.
Whether it’s artistic, musical, culinary, or agricultural, culture is an integral part of Laval’s identity.
This summer, let the countryside inspire you Culture Thrives Everywhere… and take this opportunity to discover all the cultures that help this destination thrive.
