Québec City Summer Festival
Every July the city rocks to the beat of the best home-grown and international performances at the Québec City Summer Festival.
Singers, big-name groups, and a star-studded lineup of shows will keep you coming back night after night! Some 1.7 million festivalgoers attend the festival every year, making it the biggest outdoor artistic event in Canada!
With over 300 shows in ten days, there’s something for everyone at the Québec City Summer Festival!
A Night Out on Grande Allée
This is where the nightlife is!
For meeting new people, eating great food, kicking back after work, enjoying an outdoor drink streetside, dancing the night away in a trendy club, or relaxing in a lounge bar, there’s nowhere like Grande Allée!
Québec's National Holiday in the Capital
Every year on the night of June 23, euphoria hits Grande Allée in a cross between Mardi Gras and Spring Break. As classes end and the summer holidays begin, Quebecers have plenty of reasons to celebrate their national holiday!
Rain or shine, a wave of revelers descends on the Plains of Abraham for a mega-concert featuring big-name Québec performers both past and present—and for celebrations that continue long into the night!
Grand Rire de Québec—a Laugh a Minute
The laughs just keep coming at this popular summer comedy festival.
One hundred comedians and performers raise the roof in a lineup of outdoor and indoor shows that includes galas, humor from around the world, improv, and much more!
Come see up-and-comers and old hands at the Grand rire de Québec comedy festival!
Sliding at the Dufferin Terrace
Lively Dufferin Terrace at the foot of Château Frontenac is home to all kinds of artists and street entertainers—as well as outstanding river views all year long.
When winter comes, rise to the challenge and take an exhilarating toboggan ride! You’ll want to do it again and again (but perhaps not right after dinner!).
Catch a Live Game
Québec City is renowned for its professional and university sports teams.
Take in a game with friends. With Rouge et Or football at Université Laval, Québec Junior Major Hockey with the Québec Remparts, Can-Am League baseball with the Capitales, and basketball with the Québec Kebs in the Premier Basketball League, you can’t go wrong!
