World-renowned festivals
Think of any type of festival and you’re sure to find it in Québec. Whether held in the city or an outlying region, they are attended by people from around the world. Their themes may be musical, sports, food-related, western or other, but they all bear the stamp of creativity.
The Igloofest, International Balloon Festival, Festival international de jazz, Québec Winter Carnival and Festival Western de St-Tite are just a few of our international events.

Events and public festivities
Coming together to celebrate... it’s what we do! We’re often in the streets expressing our joie de vivre, especially during public festivities. Some don costumes, others put on make-up, we walk in parades, we display our colours. Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (a holiday for all Québécois), Canada Day, Saint Patrick’s Day and Montréal Pride celebrations (LGBTQ parade) are good examples. Oh yes, we also party in the streets during our sidewalk sales!
