La Nuit sur l'étang


La Nuit sur l'étang is a Canadian music festival, held annually in Sudbury, Ontario.
Established in 1973 by Fernand Dorais and a group of students from Laurentian University who were established as the Coopérative des artistes du Nouvel-Ontario, the festival presents a concert program of francophone musical artists over a night. Franco-Ontarian poets and authors may also give short readings between musical performances.
The festival also stages an annual competition for new and emerging Franco-Ontarian bands, La Brunante. The winner of each year's La Brunante is given a slot on the Nuit sur l'étang bill.
