Carrefour mondial de l'accordéon

The Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon was established more than 36 years ago in Montmagny, a town in Quebec’s Chaudière-Appalaches region. The festival has grown into a major international event. Each year, it features some 75 musicians from all around the world.

Selected artists give street performances, filling the town with the lively and diverse sounds of the accordion. Over the span of three days, festival-goers can travel through time to discover (or rediscover) well-known musicians. World music, Quebec traditional, musette, classical, jazz… there’s something for everyone!

Activities are held place in concert halls as well as at various outdoor venues. Exhibitions, musical entertainment at restaurants, workshops and a traditional dance party are all included in the festival program. It features more than 30 concerts that give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in local Montmagny culture.

Throughout the year, the Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon also organizes traditional music outreach activities, along with projects designed to showcase the diatonic accordion and nurture the next generation of accordionists.
