Two Argenteuil municipalities are having Fête Nationale/St-Jean-Baptiste day celebrations on June 24 this year.
Not only are these community celebrations of Québec and francophone culture and heritage, but they are also a sign of hope for a return to a more normal life. Some of the events are being held online, but those being held in-person will be conducted according to public health regulations. Some events will take place one or two days before June 24.
