The Calgary Stampede is a world famous event. The Quebec Western is not… yet. But seeing French-speaking Canadians performing rodeo events and country dancing between September 9 through 18 is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetimes. Now in its 30th year, the Quebec Western provides the rodeo with bareback riding, bull riding and saddle bronc riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, draft horse competition, plus lots of live music, dancing, a boutique, a 7,000-seat arena, and more.
