The Giant puppet march
Our giant puppets, Saint Nicholas and Krampus, accompanied by musicians and percussionists, will joyfully stroll down Saint-Jean Street and Côte de la Fabrique. A colourful show to celebrate the magic of the holiday season!
A free event presented by the Government of Québec.
The Alphorns
The Alphorn is a long wooden horn typical of European mountains, with a unique and original sound. The MNAQ has its own Alphorn trio that offers two types of concerts. The first, classical, as heard in the Alps, will make you travel to the mountains. The second, mixes electronic music with traditional sounds for completely unusual performances!
Gourmet pleasures!
What would a German Christmas market be without glühwein, gingerbread, stollen, pretzels and other delicacies? Taste all the flavors of Germany in our kiosks and bars on our five sites, not to mention the Aux Traditions d’Alsace restaurant in the alpine chalet.
In addition to these European specialties, there are local delicacies. Honey, jams, chocolates, cheeses and other delicacies prepared by Quebec producers.
For the little ones
Between the puppet theater show, the arts and crafts workshops in the Kinderchalet and the visit with the REAL Santa Claus in his castle on Place d’Armes, your kids will be delighted. Joyful moments, laughter and surprises await them! Sweet dreams guaranteed!
