INTERNATIONAL EVENTS

Harbin Ice & Snow Festival 2010

A Chinese winter wonderland trip to the extraordinary Ice Lantern Festival in Harbin in North East China. Ice and snow sculpture is taken to new heights in what has to be the world’s largest ice festival. Still relatively unknown outside of China this festival is becoming increasingly popular and booking well in advance is necessary. On display across several locations are intricate ice sculptures, vast snow sculptures and the stunningly lit main festival area containing enormous ice constructions from laughing buddhas to slightly scaled down landmark buildings from around the world – all made entirely of ice! See the suggested itinerary below for the 2010 festival running from early January to the middle of February.

Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival in Bruges

Bruge's Kerstmarkt

Where: On the Station Square – Bruges. The first indoor Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival in Europe was held in Bruges, Belgium. Thanks to state-of-the-art refrigeration and isolation technology, it was possible to keep a specially-built 1,350 m2 ice tent at a constant temperature of -5° C.
When: The Snow & Ice Sculpture Festival opened its…ice gates on Friday, 23 November ‘07 and continued till Sunday 13 January ‘08.
The websites covering this event paints a picture of the ultimate ice and snow fantasy. Diversity of talent typically focused on a common theme delivers dazzling effects that do not fail to impress and inspire.

Carnaval de Quebec

Our neighbors to the north have the market cornered on winter festivities. Check out the Largest Winter Carnival in the World and mark your calendars 29 January through 14 February 2010.

Bonhomme and The Ice Palace

Since the beginning of our French colony, the habitants of New France created a rowdy tradition of getting together just before Lent to eat, drink and be merry. At this time, this intense period of revelry was already designated as the Carnival – a word of Italian origin meaning Mardi Gras. The custom of celebrating from the end of January until mid-February has long been popular.

The first large winter Carnival in Québec City, the world’s snow capital, took place in 1894. Often faced with winter’s hardships, the city’s population reinvented this popular tradition with a winter celebration that warmed up the hearts of all of it revellers. Interrupted by two wars, then the economic crisis of 1929, the Carnival was held sporadically until the second half of the century. In 1954, in the context of the economic development of the Old Capital, a group of business people re-launched the festivities. That year, Bonhomme was born and elected the event’s representative. The first official edition of the Québec Winter Carnival took place in 1955. The Carnival snowballed into an undeniable manifestation for the entire Québec City population, and was an important vehicle for tourism and economical activity in the city.

From one winter to the next, the Carnival enriched its activity program. We have since added even more popular activities, such as winter sports, snow sculptures, and activities based on the traditional Québec lifestyle, such as canoe races and dogsled races. The Québec Winter Carnival is the largest winter carnival in the world today, and is third on the List of Top Carnivals after the famous carnivals in Rio and New Orleans.
