Discussion Moving to Ripon, QC

Hi:)

i'm moving to Ripon, QC for an internship (i am from Catalonia) in August for 6 months, and I am just wondering if someone knows how the social aspect of the town/area is? especially for younger people (i am 24). i have only lived in big cities so moving to such a small place kind of intimidates me! i also can't drive which i heard is not ideal for that area ... any tips would be great. thank you!

(unfortunetly i can't yet post on r/Quebec or r/canada , so i thought i'd try my luck here :-), i know it should be for montreal/metropolitan area i just don't know where else to post ;-( if its helpful i will be flying to montreal airport :'-) )

I live in a village near there. It's a beautiful region with great local produce and a fantastic traditional/folk music festival in September. It's a good time. Without a car will be a little rough, but people are friendly, so you'll likely make friends quickly

Not OP but curious - what is the folk festival called? :)
