Every year in Montréal there is a parade welcoming Father Christmas (or Santa Claus) to the city. Parents and children line Montréal’s main shopping thoroughfare, la rue Saint Catherine as different floats and performances move along the road. Despite the sub zero temperatures (it was -5oc) everyone was in a good mood and enjoying the atmosphere.
The best prepared Canadians were there about 30mins before the official start of 11am with their folding chairs coffee and Timbits.
Here are some photographs from this year’s parade:

Hi
this is such a great blog. I was searching for Quebec traditions (i have never been there but i would love to spend some time in quebec, and who knows, live in quebec some day).
As i’m completly addicted to that country and town, i just want to know more and more about it. It seems to be a wonderful place to live (altought there’s so cold)!
i’ll keep reading the blog! 
thank u for sharing
