Saint-Tite, Quebec
Saint-Tite is a
town in
Quebec province,
Canada, north of
Trois-Rivières; its name is the French name for St. Titus. Its chief industries are
forestry and
leather production. It is best known, though, for the
Festival Western de Saint-Tite, which developed from a
rodeo inaugurated in 1967 to promote the leather industry. The festival's success has led to the remodelling of much of the town to resemble a western frontier town of the late eighteenth or early nineteeth centuries.
