Québec spent 2007 gearing up for its 400th anniversary party. New Year’s Eve (Dec 31, 2007) is the official kickoff, but most events take place from June to September 2008. The waterfront has been spruced up, museums are mounting special anniversary-related exhibits, and shows featuring the Cirque du Soleil and other performers are in the works. The biggest days will be July 3 to July 6, so make plans now. Espace 400e, a new pavilion on the waterfront where the Centre d’Interprétation du Vieux-Port used to be, will be home base for the celebration, hosting special exhibits, performances, and conferences.
