The Classics
Since 1955, the Québec Winter Carnival has been an enchanting component of winter. Some of its oldest customs are listed below:
Bonhomme’s Ice Palace
The Bonhomme Carnaval represents the joyous energy that permeates this wonderful winter festival. Every year, an Ice Palace is constructed for him to function as the hub of several Carnival-related events. Residents of Québec City always look forward to the beginning of construction on Bonhomme’s castle! This is your greatest opportunity to run into the big guy himself.
Night Parades
Both young and elderly crowd the streets covered in snow to watch a parade of vibrant performances. Don’t miss the two night marches with Bonhomme, the Carnival’s main attraction!
Race in Ice Canoes
In the intensely competitive sport of ice canoe racing, teams repeatedly traverse the St. Lawrence River’s icy waters.
