Culture

Québec has developed a culture that is vibrant, definitely contemporary and open to the world, a culture at the crossroads of European and American trends. It has an extensive network of creative talent that is increasingly making its mark on the international scene in all disciplines.

Québec’s festivals draw hundreds of thousands of visitors every year from all over the world. An ideal meeting place for all types of audiences, the festivals are held in every season and in every part of Québec.

Fans of cultural events and movie buffs can take advantage of an impressive network of performance halls and cinema complexes that present original productions from Québec and elsewhere.

Québec also has a vast network of museums, art galleries and exhibition centres.

Literature is another medium of cultural expression and affirmation in Québec. Several publishing houses publish thousands of books that are distributed through major book fairs and a large network of public libraries.
