Festirame
After cheering on a group rowing athletes ripping through the waters of a sea-sized lake, you head to an incredibly realistic Greco-Roman Coliseum where 8,000 roaring fans congregate for a frenzied music concert. Nope, you are not in Italy, but in Alma! That’s Festirame.

About the Festirame
For more than 48 years, Festirame has been a major popular celebration combining sports and culture on the territory of the MRC Lac-Saint-Jean Est. Over 9 days, the event offers a wide range of activities on various sites. Each night, Place Festivalma comes alive and features great outdoor performances for festival-goers. Festirame also presents the very popular annual 42 km marathon on the majestic Lac Saint-Jean. The only event of its kind in Canada, this competition offers the ultimate challenge to participants with its route through the winds, waves and currents. In addition to an illuminated circuit, a family section completes the exciting program and to close the festivities, a grandiose fireworks finale for everyone's pleasure! Festirame brings together more than 250 volunteers involved in all steps of the event. Not only do these volunteers feel a strong sense of belonging to the organization and come back year after year, they are nothing less than its ambassadors!
