There are many pilgrimages to the shrine... 

including hundreds by bus from Canada and the United States. At the end of July, members of the Quebec Italian community stop at the basilica, en route to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré for the feast of St Anne on July 26. The Marie Reine de la Paix pilgrims converge every year from several points in Quebec, arriving on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption. Some travel on foot the 150km from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. 

Celebrations include torchlight processions, and masses and hymns in creole for pilgrims from the Haitian community. Participants in the Marie Reine Canada pilgrimage, established in 2003, travel 100 km on foot in three days from St.-Joseph-de-Lanoraie, through Maskinongé and Trois-Rivières, every Labour Day weekend.
