History of the Festival
According to Forbes Magazine, Osheaga hits the world's top 10 most-grossing festivals; it's number 7, to be more precise. Seeing current rates, its organizers smile as they reflect on how tough it was to kick off the festival for the first time. They had to be rather inventive to make music bands agree to perform somewhere they hadn't heard before. The first edition in 2006 gathered around 25,000 visitors. Increasing popularity came short after that; the festival extended from a two- to a three-day event, and today, the attendance reaches 135,000 individuals. These are rockers, hipsters, mommies, and daddies from North America and Europe. Why "Osheaga"? This name was once used to refer to Montreal.
