In an effort to give back to the local communities hosting its events, BLEUFEU is launching the Community-Building initiative The Gathering Effect. As part of this initiative, $0.50 per FEQ pass will be donated to organizations whose mission contributes to combating social isolation. It’s no surprise that the phenomenon of social isolation has intensified with the pandemic, even as aid networks contend with a decrease in donations. Partnering with causes that help combat isolation is a natural avenue for BLEUFEU, whose mission is to bring people together around festive events.
The FEQ is a festival that seeks to reduce its ecological footprint by all means and has been carbon-neutral since 2014. In addition, the FEQ promotes sustainable mobility through its partnership with the RTC, as well as by providing bicycle parking at Desjardins sites. Add to that the creation of a Good Festival-Goer Guide, which proposes a series of green actions aimed at minimizing the ecological impact of attendees’ visits.
Passes for FEQ are available now here. FEQ passes are fully transferable, giving fans the ability to share with friends and family if unable to attend one of the 11 days. The FEQ pass is on sale at feq.ca for $150 taxes included, delivery fees excluded. Signature Bell Zone passes and tickets for the Jardin Air Canada will go on sale on April 4th. Interested individuals can sign up for the FEQ newsletter to stay informed about the second round of sales.
