Les Journées de la Culture, organized by Culture pour tous, is billed as “three days of interactive activities, discovery and appreciation of arts and culture, offered free to the public throughout Quebec.” Of course, the events in the galleries of the Belgo building are free all year ’round, but this coming weekend some Belgo venues are offering additional activities, such as performances, discussions, and guided tours. Check out the listing below.
