August Favorites

From local discoveries and festivals to outdoor activities, let yourself be inspired by our August favorites !

Québec City’s iconic attractions are certainly worth discovering, but some of the most memorable moments happen when you wander beyond the usual itinerary. In August, the city is alive with summer energy and full of little surprises for those who take the time to explore.

Just a short drive from Old Québec, Île d’Orléans is one of the best places to discover the flavours of the region. In August, roadside stands overflow with seasonal produce while the island’s countryside creates the perfect setting for a delicious day trip.

August is one of the loveliest times to experience Québec City outdoors. The days are still long, the streets of Old Québec are full of life, and the city’s green spaces and views of the St. Lawrence River invite you to slow down and enjoy every last moment of summer.

August keeps the summer energy alive throughout Québec City. Festivals, live performances, historical celebrations and culinary events fill the calendar, with many taking place just minutes from Maison du Fort.
