Come With Me and You’ll be in a World of Pure Imagination

Under a clear blue sky with temperatures hovering in the mid-twenties, people of all ages came out to Stewart Hall to celebrate Pointe-Claire’s Cultural Rendez-Vous 2024. 

Billed as a “journey into the imaginary,” residents of Pointe-Claire and beyond were invited to enjoy art exhibits and engage in a variety of workshops. On hand with demonstrations and exhibitions were local groups like the Camera Club, the Claycrafters Pottery Studio, the Lakeshore Stamp Club, the West Island Quilters Guild, and the West Island Wood Turners.

Serenaded by the musical compositions of Parisian musette accordion player Mario Bruno, people of all ages wandered the beautiful grounds of Stewart Park, basking in the views while being captivated by giant puppets on stilts, a steampunk bubble show, and a pair of inventors who showed off their genius inventions.

Performing to the delight of spectators, a percussive dance troupe took to the stage with a unique blend of dance and driving percussive rhythms, drawing in the audience as they altered the environment around them. A magical musical performance near the end of the afternoon took place in front of a huge crowd and enchanted its audience, young and old alike, with a variety of magic tricks, music, and comedy.
