Quebec City can be bitterly cold during the winter season. That being said, Quebec is also a beautiful location with plenty to do during this time of year including the Quebec Winter Carnival. The festivities running from January 30, 2009 to February 15, 2009 include evening parades, sleigh or dogsled rides, outdoor cinema, regulary scheduled concerts, and a variety of unique snow sculptures.
Consider attending the opening or closing ceremonies held at the stunning Ice Palace. In the past, the palace has been built with 9,000 tons of snow that were compacted into massive bricks.

It’s a nice time to be in Quebec especially with a family. Dress very warm though!
