The Québec Winter Carnival

The Québec Winter Carnival
The Quebec Winter Carnival is an outdoor festival that celebrates winter and Nordic culture from late January to mid-February. For a period of 10 days, the city transforms into a winter wonderland, featuring numerous ice and snow sculptures, the 100%-made-of Ice Palace of Bonhommetwo magically enchanting Night parades, and Musical Evenings in a fairy-tale setting. Not to mention several activity sites for both kids and adults. It’s the world’s largest winter carnival! Let's celebrate for the 72nd Quebec Winter Carnival, from February 6 to 15, 2026.
