A number of popular events are planned for the young and the young at heart. The 2004 edition of Festival de la Baie Française will feature a number of events including a very special program to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain and Sieur De Monts arrival and naming of the St. John River, organized in cooperation with Célébrations 1604-2004 committee. In collaboration with Imperial Theatre, this year's edition of the festival will culminate with two performances of Molière's "Le Malade Imaginaire" by the world-renowned theatre company, La Comédie-Française on June 25th and 26th. These two performances will constitute a first for Canada, as it will be the very first time La Comédie-Française, one of the oldest theatre companies in the world, will perform in our country since their creation in 1680.
