Canada's Great Winter Carnivals

Fete des Neiges
(Snow Festival)
2008
Carnival! — Winterlude!

THREE GREAT CITIES
Montréal, Québec CITY, OTTAWA

THREE RIP ROARING WAYS TO CELEBRATE WINTER 

Between January 26 and February 18, 2008, these three Canadian Cities transform winter doldrums into a winter exuberance.

 

Montréal celebrates the beauty of winter with their Fete des Neiges (Snow Festival) the weekends of January 26 & 27, February 1 & 2 and Feb 8 & 9. 

 

Winter Carnival in Québec City (the winter carnival of all carnivals) is February 1 thru February 17.

 

Ottawa, a city where many people skate to work on the Rideau Canal, celebrates Winterlude from February 2 to February 18.  Your experience as a spectator is part winter Olympics, part Iditarod and part Mardi Gras.

 

In Québec City the lovable Bonhomme is the smiling face of their Winter Carnival. The Ice Hog Family makes their annual visit to Ottawa during the Winterlude.

Enjoy parades, ice palaces, dogsled races, canoe races, music shows and snow baths to mention a few of the many activities.

 

This festive season returns to Montréal for a touch of sophistication, culture and a true “taste of Canada”, from February 21 to March 2 for the High Lights Festival, with dance, theater and even a circus. Lovers of fine dining should include this festival schedule, as over 50 chefs will entice you with the best of their fare at themed brunches and culinary workshops.

 

 

So, how do you discover and enjoy all of this?
