La Nuit sur l'étang is a Canadian music festival, held annually in Sudbury, Ontario.[1]

Established in 1973 by

francophone musical artists over a night.[2] Franco-Ontarian poets and authors may also give short readings between musical performances.[3]

The festival also stages an annual competition for new and emerging Franco-Ontarian bands, La Brunante. The winner of each year's La Brunante is given a slot on the Nuit sur l'étang bill.[4]

The festival offices moved in 2022 to the new Place des Arts facility in downtown Sudbury.[5]
