RAIN OR SHINE
Rain or Shine, the party keeps going!
Franco-Fête has always followed the rule that no show is cancelled due to rain! If an event is interrupted by extreme weather, the team will work hard to carry forward all programming in alternate locations, although some scheduling adjustments may need to occur. However, as the WestJet stage is covered for both the artists and the audience, main stage shows are not re-located.
