Last year, FRAP successfully hosted the event Nocturne \u00e0 la Baie. This year, the event has transformed into a four day festival, appropriately named Festival de Clare-t\u00e9. The dates of the festival are from March 20th to the 23rd to 23.<br \/>\nIt will be a celebration of the arts and heritage with fun and interesting activities for everyone. An event similar to Nocturne \u00e0 la Baie will be incorporated within the festival, only this time, there will be a call for submissions process, so that artists may be financially rewarded for their participation. Also different this year is the addition of conferences and workshops on various topics revolving around the agricultural and culinary heritage of Baie Sainte-Marie The Festival\u2019s logo, as it appears below, represents the relationship between the earth, light, and creativity in the region. A detailed program will be available soon. The Rendez-vous de la Baie is pleased again to be an event organizer and one of the host venues.<\/p>\n<div>Contact: Natalie Robichaud 902-698-1751<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:natalie.robichaud@gmail.com\">natalie.robichaud@gmail.com<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1Na-mDkFwMvYQ1U2FV9AKiL2tgReb1ed85lkdDdw_QRw\/viewform\">Click to fill out an &#8216;interactive&#8217; form to apply for artistic funding for Festival de Clare-t\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1084\" alt=\"Le Festival de Clare-t\u00e9 logo\" src=\"http:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo-384x388.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo-384x388.jpg 384w, https:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo-584x591.jpg 584w, https:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/rendezvousdelabaie.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Le-Festival-de-Clare-t\u00e9-logo.jpg 704w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe staff of the Rendez-vous de la Baie would like to send its best wishes to all of its friends and clients for Christmas and for the New Year.
