The Best Free Things to Do in Quebec City This Summer

Enjoy Summer Without Breaking the Bank

You don't need a big budget to experience the very best of Quebec City in July. Throughout the summer, the city offers a wide variety of free activities, making it easy to enjoy its lively atmosphere, beautiful parks, and vibrant cultural scene without spending a dime.

Every Sunday until September 13, Bois-de-Coulonge hosts the Dimanches animés, a series of free outdoor performances and family-friendly entertainment. Known for its beautifully landscaped gardens and peaceful surroundings, this historic park is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or simply a relaxing afternoon surrounded by nature.

Until August 14, the iconic Edwin-Bélanger Bandstand, located on the Plains of Abraham, also features a free lineup of concerts and live performances throughout the summer. These outdoor events attract both visitors and locals, who gather to enjoy great music in one of Quebec City's most picturesque and historic settings.

These free activities are a wonderful way to experience the city's summer atmosphere while discovering some of its most beautiful green spaces. Thanks to its prime location in the heart of Old Quebec, Maison du Fort makes it easy to enjoy these seasonal events and return to the comfort of your room after a day—or evening—filled with unforgettable experiences.
