The corporation

 

The Corporation of the Rigaud Color Festival Inc. is a non-profit organization. It is governed by a board of directors consisting of seven members and a general management team. Its main mission is to organize a fall event to showcase Mount Rigaud, including the City of Rigaud’s L’escapade Trails and local tourist businesses.

ITS HISTORY : Established in 1997 by business people from Rigaud, the Corporation held its very first festival at Mont Rigaud Ski Center. A few years later, a new hub of activities was created at the former Rigaud train station. The arrival of the train departing from Montreal's Central Station, carrying 800 people, was a highly anticipated activity for the townspeople who could travel by train to Rigaud. Upon their arrival, many citizens awaited to welcome them; there was a small market of flavors and craft exhibitions on the street. Subsequently, people boarded shuttles and headed directly to Mont Rigaud Ski Center.

TODAY : Since then, the Festival has continued to grow and welcome visitors who annually flock to the mountain during the Thanksgiving holiday. Many activities are renewed each year, including the Flavors Market, the Artisan Space, the ascent of Mount Rigaud via the L’escapade Trails, as well as activities and performances for all audiences. It's a festive, unifying, and family-oriented event!
