We had a terrific time in Quebec City for the Carnaval. We bought VIP tickets for the parade on Saturday night. What a spectacle! We had great seats, a free huge fleece carnaval blanket , free hot chocolate and a couple of glasses of wine, all included in the price($75/pp). We saw the ice canoe races, lots of ice carving, i rode the toboggan ride behind the Chateau Frontenac, and we heard plenty of great music. Everyone was super friendly and and speaking english was never a concern. I would highly recommend this great even, just remember, its bloody cold there so layer up and leave your running shoes at home ! .
