Back to SearchThe City of Dieppe will be broadcasting a live performance from the Dieppe Artsand Culture Centre on August 15 to mark National Acadian Day. The public is invited to connect to this tribute to Acadia via the link https://www.facebook.com/dieppenb/live/ or https://youtu.be/tnddjRS05eo
Caroline Savoie will kick off the virtual event at 3:30 p.m. with a 30-minute performance, followed by speeches from elected officials, and a final 30-minute set by Menoncle Jason.
Since it’s not possible to hold a traditional tintamarre this year, the municipality urges residents to celebrate by decorating their property in Acadian colours.
“We invite the people of Dieppe to go out into their yards, in front of their homes and celebrate with family or members of their bubble, to recreate the atmosphere of August 15, while respecting the health rules in effect,” explains Annie Belliveau, a community officer with the city.
