CArnaval
The first Quebec Carnival started in 1894, creating a popular tradition all around Canada, including so many exciting family fun snow activities. This went on for many years unit it was stopped by the two great wars and the great depression, which many people thought the trend of the carnival would just end. The carnival never got introduced again until many years after, 1954, the year when a group of business interests wanted to gain more money for themselves and for their community. Bonhomme was chosen as its representative right after the first carnival and is now seen all over Quebec city. One more reason they decided to bring back the carnival, is that they wanted people to not worry about the cold weather but instead just have fun. Now the main reason the ice carnival is still around is to make profit for Quebec and to attract tourists such as families.Up to one million people attended the Carnival de Quebec in 2006 making it one of the third largest winter festival in the world!
This map is showing where the carnival takes place every year, very close to Quebec city.

Many winter activities and traditions have stayed the same, such as bonhomme or dutches. With this, many different new activities got added on, providing fun for everyone, like human sized bowling. All of these fun activities are held in the same place. Dutches played a big role in the carnival ever since their first appearance in 1955, they have been standing with Bonhomme as a very important tradition of our major winter festival. They can be seen across the entire city and region, they help the Carnival shine with Quebec City and bring our celebrations with them wherever they go.
What's the role of these dutches? They are here to spread the festive spirit and the joys of winter all over. Not only this but each Duchess also fundraisers for their chosen organization, supporting it and helping it grow. Duchesses play a very important role in our carnival and they all need to show a great amount of energy into their role. Duchesses have been supporting this festival ever since it started in 1894. Nothing improves the Carnival more than these beautiful long red or blue trumpets. Everyone puts on their red coat, their arrow sash and their tuque, in Quebec City, celebrating is part of our DNA! The Carnival trumpet can produce sounds up to 144 decibels. The Carnival De Quebec is held every year, before this it was held once every two years. They changed it to once a year because their were making a lot of money for their economy and wanted to make more.

this trumpet and everyone will feel the joy. You can also see
these posters all around Quebec.
