La Nuit sur l'étang

La Nuit sur l'étang is a Canadian music festival, held annually in Sudbury, Ontario.

Established in 1973 by Fernand Dorais and a group of students (namely André Paiement) from Laurentian University, the festival presents a concert program of francophone musical artists over a night.

The festival also stages an annual competition for new and emerging franco-Ontarian bands, La Brunante. The winner of each year's La Brunante is given a slot on the Nuit sur l'étang bill. La Brunante is a competition in which 5 groups of young teens (15-30 years old) are chosen to participate and write 3 songs and by voters choice one will win.
