Cabane Panache is back and bigger than ever.

The beloved outdoor free festival is returning to Promenade Wellington for its 13th edition as part of Verdun’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

18 Verdun restaurateurs will be dishing up Quebec-style food especially for the occasion, including a maple smoked sausage sandwich and decadent ricotta maple cookie from Bossa (our favourite sandwicheria).
