Not in most cases, as the stages are covered. If a show has to be moved, you will be informed by e-mail.
It should be warm during the day, but as Rimouski is on the banks of the river, evenings can be cooler. It’s a good idea to bring a warm sweater, just in case.
The Festi Jazz International de Rimouski makes every effort to ensure your well-being throughout the festival. The BSL Security team is deployed at all performance sites.
The performances are mainly in closed or shadowed areas
