The largest Winter Carnaval in the World 60th Anniversary in Quebec City

For the last 60 years Quebec City host the largest Winter Carnaval in the World.

It is quite a lot of fun and there are many activities.

The mascot is Bonhomme Carnaval. I remember from my days when we lived in Quebec City in 1961 what a big deal this was, with the Ice Palace and Ice sculptures, the long toboggan ice slide on the Dufferin Terrace, the numerous outdoor parties, the music and the Ball of the Carnaval Queen, the fantastic Night Carnaval Parade, etc...
