From music and cinema to food and sports, we’ve got an event for that. And we especially like to heat things up in the summer. We can’t wait for you to join us.

There’s no more delicious way to get a sense of Québec than by exploring its local products and food scene. Our chefs love to collaborate with the province’s producers to come up with tasty, creative ways to incorporate products from the terroir into their exciting menus. From popular classics like lobster rolls and seafood chowder to fine dining at some of Canada’s top restaurants, you’ll want to take a bite out of what we’ve got cooking.

The St. Lawrence River has shaped our history and who we are. Here, you’re never far from the water and its bounty. The river and the magnificent Saguenay Fjord, which stretches over 100 km, offer endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, observing wildlife, tasting the flavours of the sea, and enjoying a wide variety of activities in the big cities. There’s always a surprise waiting just around the riverbend.

Strolling down cobblestone streets lined with quaint boutiques, stocking up on the treasures of the terroir at market stalls, popping into a neighbourhood bakery whose aroma wafts out the door, visiting a heritage site where history turned on a dime, and enjoying a fabulous gourmet meal at a bistro—there are so many opportunities to soak up Québec’s European charm. Come discover our one-of-a-kind blend of Canadian cool and French flair.

Whether for you enjoying the great outdoors means doing all manner of sports or simply taking in the beauty of a lush forest, Québec has what you’re looking for. And you don’t have to go far to be surrounded by nature—our cities offer sprawling green spaces and just a hop, skip and a jump out of town, you can find expansive national parks for a dose of untouched wilderness and a breath of fresh air.
