Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day: Celebrating Quebec’s Culture and Heritage

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, celebrated every June 24th, is a significant holiday in Quebec that honours the province’s French-Canadian heritage and cultural identity. Originally a religious feast day dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of French Canadians, it has evolved into a vibrant celebration of Quebec’s language, traditions, and community spirit.

The day is marked by festive parades, music, fireworks, and gatherings that showcase the rich history and pride of Quebecers. It’s an opportunity for people across the province to come together, celebrate their roots, and express their cultural pride.

Please note that Trebas Institute Quebec Inc. campus will be closed on Tuesday, June 24th in observance of this important holiday. Classes and activities will resume on Wednesday, June 25th.
