Le Pays de la Sagouine, Acadian cultural amusement park in Bouctouche, Canada
Le Pays de la Sagouine is an amusement park on an island in Bouctouche featuring outdoor stages, craft workshops, and boat tours. The grounds include multiple performance areas, workshop spaces, and waterfront paths for exploring the natural surroundings.
The park was created in 1992 by writer Antonine Maillet as a tribute to Acadian culture and heritage. Her literary works about Acadian communities inspired the design of this theatrical village celebrating their stories and traditions.
The park stages daily performances and music shows that bring Acadian stories and traditions to life through actors and musicians. Visitors can watch scenes of everyday village life and hear local songs that reflect the region's distinctive culture.
The park is located on Acadie Street and provides accessible facilities with bilingual services for visitors of all abilities. It operates seasonally from June through December, so plan your visit according to these months.
Akadi Lumina is a nighttime walking trail through the forest that spans about 1.5 kilometers with multimedia effects integrated into the natural setting. This evening experience creates a different feeling for the place through creative use of light and sound.
