Things are moving this winter at the Port of Québec

Québec City, December 10, 2025 – The Port of Québec is coming alive to offer an unforgettable winter experience. With a diverse program and exciting new attractions, the port area is becoming a must-visit destination for citizens and visitors seeking discovery and fun.

These projects are part of our 2035 Vision, which emphasizes community engagement, optimizing port area development, and creating spaces dedicated to the population.

On February 7, the Village Nordik of the Port of Québec will open its doors, transforming the Louise Basin into a true winter wonderland. Ice fishing, family activities, and a cozy chalet will be available to provide citizens and visitors with a memorable winter experience.

Coinciding with the start of the winter season, the Port of Québec is laumching the first phase of its new network of interactive kiosks. These modern tools will provide an immersive experience into port operations and the maritime world, accessible to everyone with rich and captivating content.

In January, the Port will welcome winter cruises for the first time, offering a rare opportunity to discover the beauty of the frozen river and the snow-covered city. This new initiative is expected to attract an international clientele and enhance Québec’s reputation as a winter tourist destination.

“With initiatives like Discoglace, interactive kiosks, and winter cruises, the Port of Québec is reinventing itself to offer unique and enriching experiences. We are proud to contribute to the region’s winter vibrancy,“ said Mario Girard, President and CEO of the Port of Québec.

The Port of Québec invites everyone to enjoy these varied activities and celebrate Québec’s winter in a magical setting.

The Québec Authority, a non-profit organization, manages the port of Québec, which is strategically located to serve North America’s industrial and agricultural heartland. This Canadian hub for international trade for both the import and export of goods is the only port in the province of Québec with a fifteen-meter depth of water at low tide and a comprehensive intermodal infrastructure. The Port facilities generate 12,000 jobs and about two billion dollars in economic activité.

With its 2035 Vision, the Port of Québec aims to be recognized by citizens for the responsible management of its territory, respect the environment and protection of biodiversity while positioning itself as a world leader in establishing sustainable supply chains for a more resilient economy.
