St. Patrick's Day Festivities

From March 17 to 28, 2026, festive decorations to make a nod to the Irish holiday are installed in several shopping streets of the city including, among others, in Petit-Champlain.

Relax in a Nordic Spa

Nothing better to conclude a winter day than a visit to a Nordic spa. Alternating between cold and heat is incredibly relaxing after a busy day. Lounging in a hammock, dining in a bathrobe, relaxing in an outdoor hot bath... Treat yourself to a relaxing break in one of the Nordic spas in the city or nearby.

Dancing Under the Stars at the Igloofest Music Festival

Wear the most funky snowsuit and attend one of the evenings of this electronic music festival which transcends the limits of the cold to offer an electrifying celebration under the stars.
