Flash Your Sash for Cash
Next time you visit one of the official Festival du Voyageur sites, wear your sash and you might just end the day $20 richer than when you arrived… if you spend your money wisely that is! During the 10 days of Festival du Voyageur, secret bankers will go from site-to-site with 10 of the green bills in their pockets, randomly giving them out to people who show their true spirit by wearing their sash. Be creative, stand out in the crowd and be rewarded… It pays to wear your sash!
