Details on the inaugural Joie de vivre Festival in West Nipissing have been announced.

Performances for the June 19th and 20th event include country artist Deric Ruttan and 80’s rock band Honeymoon Suite.

There’s also a host of local and French-Canadian talent taking to the stage as well.

The festival takes place in Goulard Park with performances under a big tent so the event is rain or shine.

Meantime, the 3rd annual St-Jean Family Day goes on the 20th, including inflatables, face painting, a community competition and a photo booth too.

Wristbands for the event are $40, before June 5th.
