The organization of the Carnaval de Québec is pleased to announce the theme of its 62nd edition. MY Carnival is the opportunity to play, celebrate and meet. MY Carnival is the opportunity to gather in a festive mood and live together memorable moments. This theme highlights the unifying effect of the Winter Carnival festivities, which take place throughout the region, from January 29th to February 14th.
Bonhomme is the official representative of the Quebec Winter Carnival. Dressed in white, wearing the red hat and the sash of the heroes of our history, Bonhomme embodies the joy of living of Quebecers!
At the start of each program, the mayor of Quebec hands him the keys of the city and this symbolic gesture makes it the undisputed master of festivities. He is the king of the festival and he proudly represents winter tourism all over the world.
