Carnaval+de+Quebec+(lara+w)

The Carnaval de Québec is a huge carnival that happens annually in Québec. The carnival is sixteen days long and usually is between the end of January and beginning of February. The carnival hosts many different events, including parades, games, concerts, sculpture contests, dogsled rides, and dances. The event draws many tourists to Québec and is good for their tourism industry. The carnival has been a tradition of New France since its very beginning, as a celebrating together right before Lent. I find this tradition interesting because it is an example of people in a certain community coming together to share their history and unique traditions. lara w
