Current Goal

Mission:

Bonhomme Carnaval veut rester dans la ville de Québec et veut faire toutes les caches de la Ville de Québec.

Bonhomme Carnaval wants to visit all the caches in Québec city.

--------

Bonhomme est une réplique vivante du Bonhomme de neige qui a enchanté l’enfance de tous les Québécois. Bonhomme Carnaval est le symbole des festivités de cette joyeuse période de l’année. Vêtu de blanc, portant la tuque rouge et la ceinture fléchée des héros de notre histoire, il incarne la joie de vivre des Québécois. Environ un mois avant le début du Carnaval, il fait son entrée dans la ville pour donner aux gens un avant-goût du Carnaval.

Durant le Carnaval, Bonhomme est en quelque sorte le roi de la fête. Lors de son entrée officielle dans la Capitale, le maire de Québec lui remet les clés de la ville et ce geste en fait le maître incontesté des réjouissances.

Au Carnaval de Québec, Bonhomme est la figure dominante des activités. Il n’est pas une simple mascotte, au contraire, il pose des gestes officiels et il prend la parole pour et au nom du Carnaval. Il est partout, même hors des frontières de la ville, il est l’ambassadeur le plus prestigieux de la fête.

--------

The Québec Winter Carnival has gained international fame over the years through its renowned key figure, Bonhomme Carnaval, living replica of the snowman that enchanted the youth of all Quebecers.

Celebrity of the Carnival, Bonhomme is a recurring figure during all the activities. Upon his official arrival in the Capital, the Mayor of Quebec gives him the keys to the city, making him the undisputed master of the kingdom.

Bonhomme Carnaval is the ambassador of this celebration to foreigners. He is everywhere, even in territories exceeding the boundaries of the city, and is the symbol of the festivities of this joyous period of the year. His mission is to promote the Carnival all around the world.

Since 1955, date of the first annual edition of the Carnival, Bonhomme Carnaval has personified the “joie de vivre” associated with this winter celebration. According to a recent Leger Marketing study, he is a figure recognised by 96% of Quebecers and about 60% of Canadians.

Bonhomme Carnaval is not a simple mascot, he acts officially and speaks for and in the name of the Carnival. He proudly wears the traditional red hat and arrow sash. He is a character that moves and dances, expressing his feelings through a unique gestuelle. He is surrounded by an air of mystery and most of all, an authentic respect.
