Quebec Winter Carnival 2009
Wednesday January 7, 2009
Canada - home to lots of snow and chilly winter weather - is not surprisingly also home to the biggest winter carnival in the world: the Quebec Winter Carnival. Each year at the end of January begins the 17-day long freeze-fest in gorgeous Quebec City. Think Mardi Gras in winter and you have some idea what a big deal the Quebec Winter Carnival is.
Check out visitor details for the Quebec Winter Carnival.

I wasn’t sure what a big deal Winter Carnival was, but now I’ll definitely look into trying to get up there during our next trip to Quebec. Your article makes it sound like winter in Canada is bearable! Thanks.

I’m definitely going to look into this when I get up there this year. any advice on a decent hotel? I’ve been checking out some sites, http://www.topcanadianhotels.com, is one of them.
thanks!
Auberge St-Antoine and Clos Saint-Louis are two boutique hotels that come to mind. They have a lot of charm but are not necessarily as expensive as, say, the Chateau Frontenac.
