The Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ) is the second biggest music festival in Canada. The event was held since 1968, the 11-day festival takes place every year in July. FEQ's programming includes many international stars and emerging artists from around the globe.

History

The FEQ Music Festival has been taking place annually since 1968. The first editions were organized by a group of businesspersons and artists of Quebec City in order to show the artistic, economic, and tourist potential of the region. During the 1970s and 1980s, the festival specialized in musicians from the Francophonie and world music. The festival grew substantially during the last decade after its decision to diversify its music offering and go after international headliners from genres across the board, including rock music, pop music, punk, hip hop, electronic dance music and world music. The festival reached the million spectators mark for the first time in 2007 and sold-out passes for the first time in 2010. Since February 2022, the organization behind Festival d’été de Québec is named BLEUFEU.
