Featured Events, June 26, 2023 2023-06-26 2023-06-26 Quebecgetaways quebecvacances.com Celebrate winter in summer at the Blizz carnival. From July 15 to September 3, 2023, take a tour of Bonhomme’s winter oasis for free at Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, a hop, skip and a jump from Québec City. This event is organized by the Quebec Winter Carnival, which will celebrate its 70th anniversary in February 2024. At the all-new Blizz carnival, visitors can experience the joys of winter in the middle of summer. It’s also an opportunity for international travellers visiting during summer to get a taste of a traditional Quebec winter. The event space will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Enjoy a breath of fresh (and chilly!) air Who doesn’t dream of a few snowflakes on a hot summer day? Well, you’ll definitely feel the chill of winter at Blizz! Onsite, you’ll find a massive dome with gigantic snowflakes inside and colourful fabrics replicating the glorious northern lights. Visitors can climb aboard Bonhomme’s famous float and take a picture with the statue of the King of the Carnival himself. You’ll also discover a brand-new room hidden inside the float! And why not kick back in the human-powered rest area, featuring an iceberg with a built-in mister ready to be hand-cranked? (Re)discover Quebec winter If you attended the Quebec Winter Carnival in 2023, then you probably remember the experiential shipping containers. They’ve been revamped for visitors to cool off in and discover the magic of the Winter Carnival during summer. Each of the three containers offers a distinct, immersive experience. The first is a vortex that draws you into glacial cold, powdery snow and chilling winds, replicating a typical Quebec winter. The second is a winter music box that will test your hearing with typical winter sounds, such as snow crunching under footsteps and skates on ice. Finally, the third container recreates the Quebec Winter Carnival, delighting the most nostalgic of visitors. Treat yourself to an immersive experience onsite. Slide year-round Sliding is a mainstay of the winter holidays in Quebec. At the Blizz carnival, kids and adults alike can have a blast going down a 150-foot inner-tube slide and enjoy an incredible view of Québec City. This summer, get ready to experience the world turned upside down! Visit the Blizz website for more information about the event!
