Great Canadian Beer Festival

New France Festival - Les Fetes de la Nouvelle France
Festival Country: Canada
Festival Type(s): Historical, Cultural
The buildings in the old part of Québec City resembled a collection of treasured jewels surrounded by ancient walls and crowned by the beautiful Fairmont Le Château Frontenac Hotel. Looking down on the city from the top of the funicular, a reasonable alternative from the very long and straight-up stairway called 'Heart Attack', I was surprised by the variety of colors of the copper roofs.

Quebec Carnaval - Carnaval de Quebec
Festival Country: Canada
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
Sitting in a small cafe just off the Place Royale in Old Quebec sipping delicious cafe au lait and munching on a flaky croissant as snowflakes settle gently on the gathered snow mounds outside the door. The sub-freezing air outside frosts the cafe window and the wind blows in crisp gusts. Giant icicles hang from the eaves of centuries-old buildings along the narrow street. It’s February--Carnaval time in Quebec.

Quebec Fireworks Competition - Les Grands Feux Loto
Festival Country: Canada
Festival Type(s): Fireworks
Missing were the 'ooos' and 'ahhhs' heard at typical fireworks displays. The people sitting huddled under panchos and sheltered under a rainbow of umbrellas came to Montmorency Falls, just outside Quebec City, to witness a special kind of magic – the final display of the three-week long Les Grands Feux Loto-Quebec fireworks competition. A steady rain didn't stop them and neither did a mist so thick they could taste it.

Québec Winter Carnival
Festival Country: Canada
Festival Type(s): Winter, Carnival, Party
The dancing Bonhomie was my first introduction to the Québec Winter Carnival, a blow out of fun, food and entertainment in the midst of the city's cold winter days. Held in the first part of February, it a fun way Quebecers outwit the harshness of winter, transforming the city into one massive outdoor party.
