What is the Strange Carnival?


The Strange Carnival is an outdoor event, free and open to all, which comes to life every year in the Old Quebec district on Halloween.

The Strange Carnival is the unmissable Halloween event in Old Quebec .

For one weekend, the neighborhood is transformed into a funfair from the Roaring Twenties: shows, grandiose decorations and a unique atmosphere for the whole family... and for those who want to party!

In addition to bringing the city to life, the event supports local businesses and showcases Old Quebec as a cultural and festive destination at the end of October.
