Archive notice: This page covers September 2023. The events below are historical and should not be used as a current calendar.
September 2023 was a busy transition month in Quebec City, combining late-summer concerts, fall festivals, cycling and cultural events.
Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec
The professional road race brought international cycling back to the streets of Quebec City in September 2023. The race is one of the city’s recurring major sporting events.
St-Roch XP. Saint-Roch hosted St-Roch XP in early September, with live music and programming spread through the neighborhood.
Festival celtique de Québec
The Quebec City Celtic Festival returned in September 2023 with programming tied to Celtic music and culture.
Major concerts and performances. The month also included large touring concerts and theater performances at venues such as the Videotron Centre, Grand Théâtre de Québec, Palais Montcalm, Théâtre Capitole and Impérial Bell.
What this archive can tell you
A dated calendar shows the mix of activities that shaped one specific month: an international road race, neighbourhood music, cultural programming and major touring performances. It can help researchers or repeat visitors remember the sequence of events without implying that the same lineup returned later.
What it cannot tell you
This page cannot confirm a current edition, date, ticket price, venue or artist. Recurring event names may survive while schedules and organizers change. A venue mentioned here may host entirely different programming now.
How to research a newer September. Start with the official Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec site for cycling information. Search each festival or venue directly, then compare the publication date of any calendar you find with the year you plan to visit. The official Destination Québec cité events calendar is useful for current planning.
Why archive labels matter
Without a visible year, an expired events page can send readers toward nonexistent dates or sold-out assumptions. Keeping the 2023 date in the title, excerpt and opening notice preserves historical value while preventing the page from masquerading as current travel advice.
Research note. The entries here reflect the original September 2023 calendar and are retained as a record of that month. Their inclusion does not claim that later editions used the same dates, venues, performers or ticketing arrangements. When researching a recurring event, check the organizer’s current page and the year shown on every schedule before booking transportation or accommodation.
Why keep this page?
Event archives are useful for understanding when recurring festivals normally happen, but dates, venues and lineups change every year. Always verify a new edition with the organizer before planning a trip.

This page is a historical snapshot of September 2023, not a current event calendar. It remains useful for seeing the kinds of festivals, performances and seasonal activities that shaped the month, but dates and participating venues should not be carried into another year.
For a future September trip, use the archive to identify recurring themes, then confirm the current schedule with official organizers. Weather, construction, ticketing and annual programming can all change.
