Page "Foire Brayonne" Paragraph 53

Every year thousands of people gather on the Friday evening of the Foire in the parking lot located in downtown Edmundston.

Food, beverages and live entertainment is offered.

Although sometimes imitated by other festivals in the U. S. and Canada, it is the largest one of its kind in New Brunswick.

It has sometimes been compared to Mardi Gras due to its large gathering and party atmosphere.

What makes the Party du Parking so special is the fact that despite having thousands of people gathered into one small spot, the party is in a very controlled environment.

Very few, if any, arrests are made and almost everyone attending the Party du Parking are well behaved, despite the amount of alcohol people tend to consume on that night.
