Tourism Cowansville - Attractions!

Music, history, theatre--a wide range of entertainment to suit every taste. Whether listening to 50 musicians in the fabulous décor of a park, surrounded by majestic trees, traveling the heritage circuit in a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by a captivating tour guide, or treating yourself to the summer theatre, the Théâtre des Tournesols -- Cowansville welcomes you artfully and musically.

With its golf course where majestic trees are only rivaled by the interesting layout of the course itself, the city boasts an impressive number of century-old trees. Many of the old homes which make up the Heritage Tour are adorned with what is known as natural heritage, and they are definitely a highlight of the tour.

Cowansville's rich heritage is also found in a historic home which houses a collection of works dating from 1891 through 1980, as well as a museum. A visit to the Bruck House is a must during your stay in Cowansville.

The Yamaska River banks also host a number of activities: A music festival for all ages with its big outdoor party ambiance— Musique en Vue— takes place here every summer…

Throughout the year, for folks of all ages and tastes, Cowansville presents specialty shows in the nave of a heritage church, free open-air concerts all summer long, a music festival at the river's edge, and one must not forget the summer theatre which always presents plays high in humour and featuring well-known comedians! Storytelling also occupies a choice place, with artists from home and abroad.

Summer Theatre
Young and ambitious, the Cowansville Tournesol (sunflower) Theatre is proud of its first four years. A typical evening begins with a generous meal served in a relaxed atmosphere. Once the taste buds have been pleased, the comedians waiting in the wings only need your signal to get the laughs rolling. And that is just the beginning of the evening. To know more ... well, you just have to come and see for yourself.
