Holiday in Quebec City
Quebec is the idea of going to Europe without really having to go to Europe. Discover the magic of winter in Quebec City: that’s where you’ll find plenty of snow, a warm atmosphere and tons of fun! In Old Quebec and the surroundings, visitors and residents alike share family reunions and friendly gatherings. Many neighborhoods in the city are decorated and illuminated from early December till mid-January. Visit Christmas exhibitions, enjoy concerts and take the children to fun winter family activities!
When you walk down the streets of Old Quebec, you feel like you’re immersed in a story book, it’s that pretty. Tiny specialty shops and restaurants dot the narrow streets. Take a turn down an alley and you’ll find artwork hanging on the brick walls and a local pub serving up mulled wine, which you can drink by a fire.
Every evening as of 6 p.m., Light Courses offers two different routes with interactive experiences and light settings in the most beautiful neighborhoods of the city. December 20, 2012 to January 2, 2013
Old Port Market
You’ll find a huge range of market-fresh foods and artisan products, just what you need to add a little Holiday cheer to your gatherings or find that special gift you have been searching for. Come discover over one thousand local products in a magical atmosphere with a one-of-a-kind decor.
German Christmas Market
Christmas markets have been held outdoors in Germany since medieval times. As in previous years, the Quebec City version features high-quality handicraft products as well as a host of Christmas items. You will also find a great selection of delicious treats like mulled wine (hot spicy “Gluhwein”), hot fruit punch for the kids, German Christmas cookies, gingerbread, bratwurst, grilled chestnuts, and more. There'll also be activities for adults and children alike.
Torchlight parade at Le Massif de Charlevoix
When the lifts slowly come to a halt at day’s end, the skiing won’t be over yet. Discover the mountain in a totally new light by joining the Torchlight Parade. Bring your head lamp and come admire the moon and twinkling stars reflected in the majestic St. Lawrence River, the silence of the tranquil night disturbed only by the sound of carving edges. Your magical run will be followed by a traditional supper served at the base chalet. Here's your chance for a truly different kind of ski experience this Holiday Season.
Ghost Tours of Quebec
As the sun begins to set, the costumed tour guide at Ghost Tours of Quebec strikes a match and lights his lantern. A hush settles over the tour group, for they know they will be walking down cobblestone streets to hear about 400 years of murders, executions, mysteries and ghost sightings. A nightly storytelling walking tour that engages the imagination in the darker side of Quebec history.
