The holiday season is arriving in full swing in our neighborhood and in Place-Royale. From the illuminated giant tree to the magic of the circus, not to mention choirs and the Santa Claus race, our Old Québec area offers a festive program that will delight both young and old.

Magical and Fun Animations

1. A Magical Christmas Décor

Starting in mid-November, Place-Royale will shine with its majestic tree, a symbol of the holiday magic. All the boutiques and restaurants will have a Christmas tree and vibrant decorations.

2. Xmas Choirs

Every weekend in December, local choirs such as Chœur Ad Vitam and Gamik Vocale will bring holiday cheer to the streets with carols. A warm, musical atmosphere that will continue on December 24th, 25th, and 31st.

3. Circus

The Flip Fabrique circus troupe will also make its highly anticipated return with a show full of surprises. The acrobats and jugglers of Brrrr! will perform their spectacular acts under the theme “The Grinch Who Wanted to Steal Christmas.” Performances will take place on December 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st, 28th, and 29th.

4. A Santa Claus Race for a Good Cause

On December 15th, don’t miss the Santa Claus Race, where over 350 participants dressed in festive costumes will race through the streets of the neighborhood. This friendly event supports the Petits bonheurs d’école Foundation. A Lutin race, dedicated to children, will add even more magic to the day.
