FMG – Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival

Held annually over five days around Labour Day weekend at Parc de la Baie in Gatineau, the FMG draws more than 200,000 visitors with dozens of colorful hot air balloon flights, nightly Night Glow shows, fireworks, an amusement park, and national and international concert headliners on multiple stages. The festival has been running since 1988 and is widely recognized as the largest summer event in the Outaouais region. Golf trippers finishing their rounds will find this a spectacular way to cap a late-summer trip.
