Summer programs at Lachine's new waterfront park: La Brise du large
As of June 10 and in compliance with public health measures, this summer event will gradually set sail… with user-friendly facilities, aquatic and cultural programs, a terrasse and a food court.
Relaxation facilities and art installations
To relax and enjoy the landscape, come enjoy a snack at one of the shaded picnic tables or watch the sunset on the deck chairs at the end of the cape. A beautiful invitation to indulge in some contemplation!
All along the peninsula, art installations will catch your eye, and particularly the large wave-shaped entrance structure designed by Proto_type, an artist invited by the Borough’s Graffiti program. These installations were created by Îlot 84.

Cultural programs
Have a look at our cultural program, which includes world music shows. Three stages—La Bronzette, hosted by Aire commune and the Borough—and La Pointe—will be welcoming performers. The Grande Scène éphémère will be able to present larger-scale shows from time to time. Concerts Lachine will also present some concerts from their Festival de musique de Lachine. August 6-8, the Festival de musique émergente (FME) will present a preview of the concerts to be held in Rouyn-Noranda later in the year.
Until mid-October, an installation of the off-site exhibition Points de vue - Souvenirs d’été by the Musée de Lachine will take place at the tip of the peninsula. The installation, which resembles a pair of binoculars, invites visitors to look into Lachine’s past by discovering an archival photograph. The binoculars come with an audio clip to download on the Soundcloud platform.
Food services and La Bronzette bar
Collaborative arrangements with Lachine restaurant owners are planned to offer food on the premises. Drinks are available at La Bronzette, a relaxation area with refreshment service located in the centre of the park and managed by Aire Commune.
