Visiting Quebec City in winter sounds a little bit intimidating, doesn’t it? Up until last year, my previous visits had taken place during the summer months, however, there was one event that I really wanted to attend which would require braving the cold: Carnaval de Quebec.
In case you’ve never heard of it, Carnaval de Quebec is a winter extravaganza where people gather to celebrate the frosty season…outdoors! The event is over 3 weeks long and it has an action-packed schedule featuring street parades, canoe races, ice sculpture competitions, dance parties, snow baths (that’s exactly what it sounds like) and more.
