The 2024 Intercultural Festival brought together guests from all walks of life for a moment of sharing, music, dancing and conviviality. This celebration not only marked the end of 2024, but also helped strengthen ties between the different communities of Montreal.","text":"<h2><strong>A warm welcome for all guests<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Starting at 6:30 p.m., guests were greeted in a festive atmosphere, with background music creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. The General Manager of La Maisonn\u00e9e and the Chairman of the Board of Directors spoke to welcome all participants. They praised the diversity and importance of this event for immigrant families, many of whom were celebrating their first intercultural celebration in Quebec. It was a wonderful moment of sharing and inclusion, with the presence of guest personalities, including Alexandre Boulerice, Member of Parliament for Rosemont \u2013 La Petite-Patrie, who gave a speech full of meaning and kindness, to show his gratitude to newcomers who contribute to making Quebec better by getting involved from the moment they arrive, while emphasizing the benefits and importance of this event organized by La Maisonn\u00e9e each year.<\/p>\n<h2>\nA menu rich in flavors from around the world<\/h2>\n<h2>\nThe intercultural meal was a true feast, highlighting the different cultures represented in the community. Guests were treated to delicious dishes ranging from halal lamb to delicious pastries such as sfouf and namoura. The carefully prepared dishes allowed everyone to discover different flavors of the world while savoring cultural specialties. The menu included dishes such as three cheese rolls, mini shish taouk sandwiches, meat kibbe balls, chicken and meat samboussac, and vegetarian stuffed vine leaves. All of this was accompanied by coffee, soft drinks, water, and fruits. This meal was much more than just a gastronomic moment, it allowed participants to travel across cultures while sharing a moment of unity.<\/h2>\n<h2>\nA captivating cultural program<\/h2>\n<h2>\nThe evening continued with a series of shows that livened up the party. At 7:20 p.m., the group Les Danseux captivated the audience with traditional Quebec dances and music, inviting young and old to join in the dancing and celebrate Quebec\u2019s cultural roots. The atmosphere then continued with a magnificent jazz show by the Trio Altered Tones, which brought an elegant touch to this festive evening, creating a perfect musical backdrop for the intercultural meal.<br \/>\nThe audience was then treated to a dynamic show by Kizaba, accompanied by young talents who led a children\u2019s music workshop, allowing everyone to actively participate in this lively evening. The stage was transformed into a dance and music space with the Mafa Studio Danse team, offering a vibrant performance that had the entire room dancing. We were also treated to a surprise moment of sharing from Lucas Kabongo, an employee at La Maisonn\u00e9e, and his talent as an entertainer, to close the show.<\/h2>\n<h2>\nA special moment for the children<\/h2>\n<h2>\nAt 9:30 p.m., La Maisonn\u00e9e offered gifts to all the children present, bringing them smiles and joy during this holiday season. This symbolic gesture ended the evening on a note of generosity, creating lasting memories for the youngest, who will remember this beautiful moment for a long time.<\/h2>\n<h2>\nAn evening made possible through solidarity<\/h2>\n<h2>\nThe 2024 Intercultural Festival was a resounding success, thanks to the exceptional collaboration of the many partners and volunteers who contributed to its realization. We would like to once again offer a big thank you to Desjardins, whose financial support was essential to the success of this event. We also thank Amazon and Centraide for their generous contributions. Finally, La Maisonn\u00e9e would like to express its gratitude to all the guests and to the presence of Mr. Boulerice, who helped make this evening special. The active participation of the Danseux, the Trio Altered Tones, Kizaba, Mafa Studio Danse, as well as the volunteers and collaborators of La Maisonn\u00e9e, helped create a festive and warm atmosphere that made this evening an unforgettable moment.<\/h2>\n<h2>\nA big thank you to all those who made this party possible!<\/h2>\n<h2>\nLa Maisonn\u00e9e would like to sincerely thank its customers, volunteers, collaborators, as well as all the members of the team for their unwavering commitment and warm presence.
