Tartans

A creation of the Cercle de Fermières Beauport

Since 2018, the great ladies of the Cercle de Fermières Beauport, a women’s farmers’ collective, have been weaving the Festival’s tartan. Each awardee of the competitive component of the Festival receives one of these magnificent tartans.

The tartan, a wool cloth with criss-crossed, horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours, is worn as a symbol of one’s allegiance to a family. It makes us very proud!
