Attractions and What’s On

 

 

Find out what’s on by visiting this website—you can search for all events and/or the ones that are on during our stay in  Québec City. www.quebecregion.com/e/quebecscope.asp

 

 

 

The Québec region is of unequalled historical and cultural heritage interest, with its architecture, pedestrian streets and fortifications, unique in North America. A visit to the Plains of Abraham and Vieux-Québec (Old Québec), a UNESCO World Heritage travel destination, will provide you with almost 400 years of historical discovery opportunity.

Our performances, theatre and festival events will put you in a very celebratory mood!
