About this venue
Quebec City Old Port Agora is an open-air amphitheatre set in Québec’s old port area, designed for events that benefit from a natural backdrop, clear sightlines and a strong sense of place. Its outdoor layout connects the stage with the riverside and harbour setting, making it well suited for concerts, festivals, summer programmes and cultural performances under the open sky.
The audience experience is defined by immediacy: the open configuration supports good views toward the stage, while the sound setup can be adapted to the scale of each event, from more intimate performances to larger outdoor productions. Visitors often appreciate the informal atmosphere, straightforward movement around the venue and the feeling of enjoying an event without the limits of an enclosed hall.
The venue is located at 120 rue Dalhousie, Quebec, Canada, in the old port zone, with pedestrian access from nearby streets and public areas. For arrival at the entrance, it is best to check the event-specific information in advance, as access points, parking and temporary traffic arrangements may vary by programme.

About the city
Québec, the historic heart of francophone Canada, is not just postcard scenery but also one of the most appealing destinations for top-tier events. The city blends the charm of a European old town with the energy of a modern urban scene, making it equally enjoyable for sporting spectacles and major concerts. Visitors are welcomed by a diverse culinary offering and accommodation for every budget, from elegant hotels with river views to practical options in the wider downtown area, and many highlight the city’s sense of safety and order that makes a stay feel relaxed.
The city prides itself on functional infrastructure that makes it easy to reach the main arenas and stadiums, whether you rely on public transport or your own car. The local bus network Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC), including fast services such as Métrobus and Express, connects key urban areas and major arrival points. If you arrive by train, the central station Gare du Palais sits close to the Lower Town and is well connected to the rest of the metropolitan area. If you fly in, Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec (YQB) offers a convenient link to the city, and the RTC network further simplifies getting to your accommodation and event venues.
Take the chance to explore Vieux-Québec before or after the event, stroll along the ramparts and the streets of the Lower Town, or linger at Place Royale, one of the city’s most photogenic corners. For a panoramic experience, a walk along Terrasse Dufferin with views toward Château Frontenac is ideal, while Plains of Abraham is a great choice for a break in greenery. It all comes together with a walk along the fleuve Saint-Laurent, which gives the city its distinctive breadth and rhythm—an ideal backdrop for a complete Québec experience.
