I don't know how it is in your part of the world, but here in Quebec, once school finishes(yesterday) festivals start, and it lasts all summer up to late September. It is one festival after another in every city, village etc.
Every day, you can go and party at so many places. This trend started about 10 years ago, with one or two festivals in the summer time, but now, it's out of control, there are SO many. Even if you wanted to go to all of them, you couldn't.
June 24th is a holiday in Quebec, "St-John the baptist day". This is equivalent to the 4th of July in the US. And then July 1st is Canada day, another feast, and more festivals.
How is it in your area?
