Quebec’s Winter Festivals – Canada Can Party Hardy

Snowy Celebrations of Gatineau, Montreal & Quebec City

Check out the many winter festivals of Quebec – everything from the all night events of Montreal to the snowy celebrations of Gatineau.

Need a wintery escape. Think Gatineau. Set in western Quebec, Gatineau is the fourth largest city in the province – nestled right along the Ottawa River. Gatineau is home to some pretty important attractions, like the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Casino du Lac Leamy, and Lac Beauchamp Park – but the real fun is in the winter festivals of the Ville de Gatineau, like Winterlude.

For more Quebec festivals, look no further than Quebec City. The capital city of Quebec is also home to some noteworthy stopping points like the National Assembly of Quebec, the National Gallery of Quebec, and the Museum of Civilization – but the annual Quebec Winter Carnival is where the action is.

For big city winter fun, head to Quebec’s own Montreal metropolis. Montreal is home to many a winter festival, like the Dorval Winter Carnival in, you guessed it, Dorval, and the Fête des Neiges Snow Festival, The most anticipated winter celebration in Montreal is the Montreal High Lights Festival in February – a collection of live music, art, food, theatre and winter sports – capped by the Montreal All-Nighter la Nuit Blanche. You can party in Montreal from sunrise to sunset, and have a great time doing it.

Choose your favorite winter festival in Quebec, and let’s get started.
