Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste was celebrated in La Broquerie June 22.

CHRIS GAREAU THE CARILLON Crowds moved indoors on a rainy Sunday and packed the HyLife Centre for Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste in La Broquerie. The parade had to be cancelled due to lightning, but there was plenty of francophone music and fun for people of all backgrounds celebrating the festival. The fireworks were back the night before after organizers moved them on the west side of Principale Street, where the provincial fire restrictions were not in effect.
