L’Incandescent brings together guest chefs from some of the best restaurants in town to dazzle your taste buds.
As soon as you arrive at the site, the smell of grilled meats and vegetables brings you into the best of summer. Smoke from Argentinean grills and smokers add a festive touch to the atmosphere of BBQ picnics, just like when you meet up with a group of friends in the parks to celebrate the warm season.
Custom-designed and using wood and charcoal cooking techniques, it will bring together guest chefs per night from among the best addresses in town. This new event will invite gatherings and discoveries in a relaxed mode, on the riverfront, near the Alexandra Bridge, next to a Bistro SAQ lined with tables for picnics.
Each evening, on the shores of the Alexandra Bridge on the grounds of the Canadian Museum of History, a brigade of renowned chefs will cook over an open fire an identical themed menu each evening, including main courses, side dishes and desserts.
Buy your Box via the box office, and pick it up at the event site for an unparalleled tasting experience.
The Picnic Box is a local proposal that has been specially designed to be enjoyed on the event site with the purchase of a Grands Feux ticket. This box contains a gastronomic discovery meal composed of small dishes for 2 people concocted by Outaouais restaurateurs. For a family of 4, we recommend that you purchase 2 Picnic Boxes.

Your entertainment experience will start with a lighted pathway that will come to life at the 2 new official entrances of the event site, accessible via the Laurier-Victoria and Laurier-Alexandra Bridge intersections. Lined with mature trees, the two entrances will offer similar paths that will change throughout the evening, until sunset, to become even more illuminated once night falls. A magical experience at the arrival, as well as at the exit, as if a dust of stars had settled after the great pyromusical show at the end of the evening awaits you.
At the heart of the event, where all the paths converge, stands a huge bonfire, a major source of warmth, gathering and reconnection. In the form of a scenographic sculpture that rises from the earth like a volcano, this great central fire is composed of light, smoke and materials that reflect the light during the day and shine with a thousand lights at night. The beating heart of the site, it is a place to meet, sit, eat, dance and admire unexpected artistic performances.
The Lantern offers you an immersive moment of rest. You will be able to walk around and be amazed by this mysterious suspended installation, colored and illuminated, which will take place at the feet of three majestic mature trees. It will certainly be an area that will not go unnoticed!
While summer is in full swing, the Oasis welcomes participants in its structure with a refreshing mist and enveloping lighting that intrigues as night falls. This immersive and hushed space offers seating for a moment of respite from the heat.
Head for Les Étincelles: a playground where you can enjoy games, campfires and S’mores! This area invites young and old to reconnect with the elements. Right next to this large family-friendly area is the Baby Corner: a space designed for family care, offering changing tables and chairs for breast-feeding in complete tranquillity.
This large-scale interactive artistic installation called “Los Trompos” will invite you to engage an experience that is both meaningful and playful. Acting as both a work of art and a rotating platform, each sculpture becomes a gathering place for relaxation, social interaction and entertainment.
