East Angus

Nestled along the banks of the Saint-François River, East Angus brings together the scenic beauty of the Eastern Townships with the warmth of a tight-knit Quebecois community. Just east of Sherbrooke and framed by rolling hills and lush forests, this city balances its rich industrial past with a vibrant present. The red-brick architecture along rue Angus serves as a testament to its pulp and paper heritage, while inviting parks and waterfront paths beckon visitors for a leisurely stroll or an afternoon picnic.

East Angus shines as a haven for arts and culture in the region. The Salle Guy-Veilleux, a beloved local theatre, offers live performances and unites the community for music, comedy, and cultural celebrations. Each summer, locals and visitors alike look forward to Fête de la famille, a festival bursting with music, family activities, and colourful parades that fill the streets with laughter and Quebecois joie de vivre. Artisans are always eager to share their crafts in the farmers’ and Christmas markets, where you can pick up local delicacies and discover homemade treasures.

Outdoor enthusiasts are never far from adventure here. Popular cycling routes weave through the countryside, connecting East Angus with picturesque neighbouring villages, and the Parc des Deux Rivières provides serene wooded trails along the water, perfect for hiking, snowshoeing, or spotting playful beavers. After a day outdoors, the town’s cosy cafés and bistros welcome you in to sample locally roasted coffee or a hearty poutine. Whether you arrive for the tranquil river views or the spirited community events, East Angus offers an authentic experience in the heart of the Eastern Townships.
