A PERFORMANCE BY LES FILS DU DIABLE
The streets of Deux-Montagnes will be turned into a stage on the evening of August 18th when the musical trio Les fils du Diable deliver a most exhilarating performance. Violins, accordions and percussions will mark the 100th anniversary of our beautiful city! Marc Angers, accompanied by Robert Langlois and Hugo St-Laurent form this diabolical group which knows how to give life to rhythmic pieces and will not fail to make you clap your hands and stomp your feet. Let yourself be carried away by the energy of their performance and their fusion of traditional / popular Québécois music, as well as Irish and Louisiana styles. The municipal officials invite you to dance and celebrate with them. The musical convoy will begin its journey through the city at the municipal library where it will reach 8e Avenue to take rue Guy towards boulevard Deux-Montagnes. 20e Avenue will lead this moving spectacle to chemin d’Oka where it will complete its tour back at the library.
FIREWORKS TO END THE EVENING
At 10 p.m., everyone is invited to a twenty-minute pyromusical performance upon reservation only at parc Central (108, 13e Avenue) to end the evening in a dazzling way! The sky will light up in multiple colors to the rhythm of the music to underline this pivotal stage the City of Deux-Montagnes’ history. Given the limited space in the park, we prioritize access to Deux-Montagnes residents.
