Unique events to celebrate winter

In both Montréal and Quebec City, Igloofest gets the crowds moving on the coldest dance floor in the world, but in an electrifying atmosphere. For the Montréal edition, tickets are available for the IGLOOVIP Casino de Montréal, a heated space with an unobstructed view of the stage!

The original and inimitable winter event, the Quebec Winter Carnival, is back with a host of activities. Visitors are invited to the Loto-Québec Zone to admire Bonhomme’s Ice Palace. The Loto-Québec Stage will be the prime gathering place for all six musical evenings.

During MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, Place Loto-Québec will host a number of outdoor activities, including the magnificent Loto-Québec Skating Loop, which promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles.

Active transportation, even in winter!

Thanks to Loto-Québec, for a second year BIXI is offering Montrealers the chance to get around by bike all year round. The corporation is proud to be a partner to reduce greenhouse gases, encourage active mobility and promote access to festivals year-round.
