Festival Folifrets Baie-James is a unique snowmobile competition that has been held in Chibougamau, in the northern part of Quebec, for 50 years. Two major activities make this event famous across Canada: the "president's ride", with close to 650 participants, and the "Cross-Country", an endurance race that welcomes some of the best recreational racers in Quebec over 345 kilometres, through the boreal forest. The whole city follows the rhythm of this festival during the ten days of the event!
