Lac-à-la-Tortue Winter Carnival

The Lac-à-la-Tortue Winter Carnival is a festive, family-friendly event that brings together thousands of people eager to enjoy the pleasures of winter in Quebec. Throughout the day, young and old alike take part in a wide range of activities, including inflatable games, slides, ice skating, dog sled rides, and airplane tours. A variety of entertainment and food courts with sugar shacks and food trucks contribute to the warm atmosphere. The evening ends with a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the sky over Lac-à-la-Tortue. Organized by Évènements Shawinigan, a local non-profit organization, the Carnival once again demonstrated the dynamism and pride of the Shawinigan community.
