Vaudreuil-Dorion's Annual Events Calendar

What happens each month in Vaudreuil-Dorion, year after year.

Last checked August 24, 2026

Vaudreuil-Dorion has a busy annual calendar - festivals, free concerts, races, and markets that come back every year around the same time. This site is static and can't show this year's exact dates; instead, this page covers the usual yearly rhythm.

  1. May

    Horticultural Fair

    Held by the City in the arena parking lot (9 rue Jeannotte) every year in early May: plant reservations, free tree seedlings, compost and wood-chip pickup, and kids' gardening workshops.

  2. May

    Vaudreuil-Soulanges Book Fair

    Organized by La Vitrine Vaudreuil-Soulanges at the Centre Multisports André-Chagnon. Still a young event - its first edition ran in May 2025, with a second confirmed for May 2026. Promising, but not yet as established a tradition as the others on this page.

    Increasingly combined with the Circus Festival into one big celebration marking the start of summer, with a show and fireworks on rue Jeannotte.

    Festival de cirque Vaudreuil-Dorion

    One of Quebec's biggest street and circus-arts festivals, drawing roughly 50,000 visitors to rue Jeannotte. Reached its 20th edition in 2026, with free street performances, an amusement park, fireworks, and headline concerts (Loud and Garou in 2026).

  6. June-October

    Vignoble Côte de Vaudreuil hosts (Friday-Sunday, 11am-5pm) 60 to 75 outdoor sculptures set among the vines, by members of the Conseil de la sculpture du Québec. Free entry (tastings are paid). The exact current-year edition number wasn't confirmed - check with the vineyard directly.
