|  | Carnaval SouvenirOver 100,000 people pay homage to the past as the citizens of Chicoutimi dress up in period costumes to eat, drink and dance in the style of 100 years ago. It's a time to remember both your local and national identity, whether you're from the town or not.Visitors can get a real taste of Saguenayan hospitality and entertainment. The focus of the festival is Place Carnaval, where laser shows open the festivities and snow castles and other monuments dot the landscape. The party continues for a month with all sorts of events both inside and out, including special theatre shows and an operetta, featuring 60 comedians and over 30 musicians. Outdoor types can wrap up warm for a sled tour of the local area.
The tradition evolves from 1960, when the "Carnival of Memory" was set up as a way to celebrate winter and remember the local heritage, always themed on the corresponding year from the previous century. |
