La Nuit sur l'étang is a Canadian music festival, held annually in Sudbury, Ontario.[1]
Established in 1973 by Fernand Dorais and a group of students from Laurentian University who were established as the Coopérative des artistes du Nouvel-Ontario, the festival presents a concert program of francophone musical artists over a night.[2] Franco-Ontarian poets and authors may also give short readings between musical performances.[3]
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.[4]
The festival offices moved in 2022 to the new Place des Arts facility in downtown Sudbury.[5]
