Bonhomme is making an appointment to the world: the Quebec Carnival 2027 will take place from February 5 to 14!
It's an official event! The world's largest winter carnival unveiled its dates: February 5-14, 2027, Québec will vibrate at the pace of Bonhomme, his Ice Palace and the legendary canoe race on the ice river. Winter in Quebec has never been so hot!
When the thermometer dives, Québec City is not hiding: it celebrates! For decades, the Quebec Carnival has transformed the capital into a kingdom of winter joy. Its Ambassador Bonhomme Carnival, the world's most famous snowman, welcomes visitors to its Ice Palace, built in front of the National Assembly, at the heart of the festivities.
On the programme of each edition: the night parades that illuminate the snowy streets, the ice and snow sculptures made by artists from all over the world, the slides, the dance evenings in the open air — and above all, the spectacular ice canoe race on the frozen St. Lawrence, a unique event in the world where teams face the ice of the river between Quebec and Lévis. A spectacle that the explorers of Festival TV dream of making you live!
Carnival is also a lesson in life from the North: here, we don't experience winter, we celebrate it. It's exactly the philosophy of Festival TV — show how communities around the world celebrate life in all seasons. From tropical carnivals in Rio or Barranquilla to the snows of Quebec City, the festival is a universal language.
So, at your tusks and arrow belts: go from February 5 to 14, 2027 in Old Quebec. Prepare your mittens: winter 2027 will be festive, or won't be!
