City of Trois-Rivieres, Canada
Trois-Rivières is a city in the Mauricie region of Quebec, Canada, located at
the joining of the Saint-Maurice and Saint Lawrence Rivers. It is part of the densely populated
Quebec City – Windsor Corridor and is approximately halfway between Montreal and
Québec City.
The city's name, which is French for three rivers, is named for the fact that
the Saint-Maurice River, which is divided by two small islands at the river's
opening, has three mouths at the Saint Lawrence River.
Trois-Rivières hosts the FestiVoix de Trois-Rivières, a 10-day summer music
festival which attracts in excess of 300,000 visitors annually. The city
also hosts the Festival International de la Poésie, an international poetry
festival as well as the Festival International Danse Encore, and the MetalFest de Trois-Rivieres every
November. In 2009, Trois-Rivières was
elected as the 2009 Cultural Capital of Canada for cities with a population
of 125,000 or more.
