Quebec City Winter Carnival

Siberia, Scandinavia, Canada and Taiwan have winter carnivals. 
None top Quebec City’s Winter Carnival in icy marvelous Canada.
Family friendly, there is an ice hotel – Hotel de Glace.
You can make your own maple syrup popsicle, and ice sculpture.

You may take a ride with sled dogs, or go on carnival rides.
Your lunch waitress will bring your drinks in cups made of ice.
If you have a teenager, remind her or him to bring a bathing suit.
One of the most popular events is to roll in the snow wearing one.

The ice castle has taken seventy workers twelve days to build.
There is a dining room, living room, and a shower inside this palace.
You may take a shower with snow if you want while you are inside.
Lit up at night, it is extremely lovely, seen for a distance as a mirage.

Seven hundred thousand visitors attend Quebec City’s Winter Carnival.
It has been going strong since 1894; the locals take this business seriously. 
This festival generates thirty million dollars and employs six hundred.
There are hot tubs, if you get cold and a phenomenal parade at the end.

This festival last for almost two weeks. “We cannot wait until next year”.
If you want to reserve a room in a hotel, you may need to reserve it now.
For 2024; because the rooms for 2023 have already been spoken for.
Quebec City is waiting for you. Pick up the phone!

Ooh, this made me shiver. I have such a phobia about the cold! I think I'll pass on this one.

Never been to Quebec - and I'm French Canadian! Had no idea about the Hotel de Glace. Not my thing, though. Much information in this write, Caren. Thanks for posting it. / Maurice

Thank you Maurice. If you ever want to go, I would avoid this festival. It looks marvelous but SO crowded!
