Québec City Summer Festival

New France Festival

It was in Québec City in 1608 that the whole adventure of New France began. And every summer for the past 12 years, the New France Festival has been celebrating the arrival of the first Europeans on American soil. It's the perfect opportunity to dress up in period costumes and take a trip back in time right in the heart of Old Québec.
