Quebec
French-speaking Quebec is the province where Mardi Gras is most widely celebrated in Canada. Quebec City and Montreal hold Mardi Gras celebrations, with events such as music festivals, comedy festivals, food festivals, and street parties.
Quebec City is also famous for the Quebec Winter Carnival, which usually starts on the first Friday of January and continues for 17 days. With close to one million participants, it has grown to become the largest winter celebration in the world. Festival events include a winter amusement park, with attractions such as skiing, snow rafting, and snow sled-slides.
