For its 71st edition, the festival will be celebrated in style with the classic Winter Carnival line-up of parades, ice sculptures, Bonhomme’s Palace, the ice canoe race, and more.

Attend the International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament

Hockey fever takes over the city when thousands of young players realize their dream by coming to defend their team's colours at the International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament. By attending one of the games presented at the Videotron Centre, you may witness the performances of future National Hockey League champions, who knows!

Enjoy Québécois Comfort Food

The cold and the snow can be a great reason to stay indoors. Treat yourself to delicious comfort food at some of the city’s best restaurants.

Relax in a Nordic Spa

Nothing better to end a winter day than a visit to a Nordic spa. Alternating between cold and heat makes you feel extremely relaxed after a busy day. Stroll in a hammock, eat in a dressing gown, relax in a hot open-air bath... Treat yourself to a relaxing break in one of the Nordic spas in town or in the surrounding area.
