TWINS CELEBRATION
As part of its regular programming, the festival will be organizing a Twins Weekend. For the past 12 years, the Twins Weekend has been an annual Canadian event giving the opportunity to Twins, Triplets and more to meet. Twins, identical or non, aged between one month and 100 years old, Canadian or from another nationality are welcome.
The Twins Weekend will be held on Saturday, July 18 and Sunday July 19. Many activities are organized for the Twins: dinners, shows, VIP brunch, look-alike and costume contests, animation and various other activities.
