Montmagny to host its forts ever emerging talent day

Montmagny, July 9, 2026 – Whether in music or entrepreneurship, emerging talent will take centre stage at Place Montel in Montmagny on Saturday, July 25, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. During the very first Journée de la relève, organized by the Ville de Montmagny, the talent and energy of local youth will be in the spotlight. This is a unique opportunity to discover local up-and-coming talent and support the next generation of artists and entrepreneurs in our community!

Starting at 1 p.m., with the support of the École internationale de musique, several emerging musicians will have the opportunity to perform on stage. Piano, accordion and vocal performances will be among the highlights. Two increasingly well-known young regional bands, Ignite The Flame and Eternal Bastard, will also take the stage.

“There are many talented young musicians in the region, but there are not many opportunities for them to perform on stage, in front of an audience and in a professional setting. With the Journée de la relève, we wanted to give them that opportunity,” explained Philippe Beaumont, Events and Tourism Officer with the Ville de Montmagny. A musician himself in his spare time, Beaumont knows just how challenging it can be to get started in the industry.

Call for Young Entrepreneurs

Alongside the musical component, young entrepreneurs will also be given a prominent place at the event, thanks to the collaboration of the Centre d’aide aux entreprises (CAE) Montmagny–L’Islet, the Société de développement économique (SDÉ) de Montmagny and Carrefour Région Montmagny. Entrepreneurs aged 40 and under whose businesses are located in the MRC de Montmagny and who would like to have a booth at the event are invited to reserve their spot now at ville.montmagny.qc.ca/releve.

For just $25, participants will receive a prime booth location, including a table, chairs and electricity upon request. Most importantly, they will have the opportunity to sell their products or services directly on site. They will also have a chance to be named the People’s Choice Business and win Montmagny gift certificates provided by the SDÉ de Montmagny. Only 25 spaces are available, so entrepreneurs are encouraged to register quickly, as spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Behind every young business is an idea, a passion and a great deal of boldness. By joining forces for the entrepreneurial component of this event, we want to provide the next generation with a place to connect, raise their profile, meet members of the community and showcase their full potential,” the partner economic development organizations concluded in a joint statement.

The organizing committee is, of course, hoping Mother Nature will cooperate, as the event will unfortunately be cancelled in the event of rain. To learn more about the Journée de la relève, follow the various partners on social media or call 418-248-6022.
