The best of Québec performing arts comes to you during the Edinburgh Fringe! Discover exciting circus, theatre, dance & comedy performances made in “la belle province”.

Each summer, Edinburgh becomes a global stage where Québec’s talents shine with boldness and creativity. The Edinburgh festivals offer an exceptional platform for our artists across theatre, dance, circus, music and comedy.

In 2025, Québec returns to Edinburgh with a remarkable line-up, led by artists who are both inventive and committed. Discover the shows and creators who will showcase Québec’s vibrant culture this year (see below).

You can also explore the 2025 edition of our cultural magazine (PDF 4.80 MB) for an in-depth look at the artists and their journey to Edinburgh. And don’t miss the trailer below!

The Québec Government Office in London is proud to support Québec artists as they gain international recognition. Stay tuned to follow their journey throughout the festivals!
