We create unique, LARGE-SCALE cultural and sporting events that people connect with. Our ever-evolving signature events have become landmarks on the entertainment scene. The secret of their success lies in the passion and dedication we bring to everything we do, the magical touch commonly known as the GESTEV EXPERIENCE !
Cigale festival
A unique beachside beats and eats experience that draws over 20,000 festival-goers to the beach at Baie de Beauport! The outside-the-box concept with a West Coast vibe combines fun and sun in a laid-back atmosphere. Cigale is French for cicada and the festival takes its name from La Fontaine's fable about the grasshopper and the ant, in which the grasshopper (actually a cicada!) lives only for fun.
