Québec Winter Carnival
The grandest of all the festivals, the Winter Carnival, is held from the end of January to early February. Despite the frigid temperatures during this time of year, thousands attend, ready to celebrate.
This international attraction featuring arts, culture, sporting events and entertainment is an unforgettable winter outing for the whole family. A grand tradition, Le Carnaval de Québec was held for the first time in 1894. The Ice Palace is a wonderful tradition that all must see to believe. Le Carnaval's first ice palace was built in 1955 at Carré Jacques Cartier in Lower Town Québec.
The location was later moved to Carré d'Youville and in 1973, it was moved again to its present site across from the Québec Parliament building. Nighttime is a great time to go to the carnival, as a nightly parade travels the streets of Québec and features beautiful floats, superb bands, and hilarious clowns. And now the ice palace is lit up each evening with an array of lights!
The International Snow Sculpture Show is fun to watch, as 100s of artists from around the world gather each year to take part in the imaginative and magnificent art of snow sculpting.
