Winter in Rimouski
Make the most of winter and explore Bic National Park, lace up your skates and enjoy the region’s numerous rinks and trails, or if you prefer to watch the (almost pros) catch an Oceanic junior league hockey match, and you certainly won’t want to miss the famous ice canoe races at RikiFest.
Summer in Rimouski
Rimouski-Neigette is a must-visit tourist destination in the summertime—there’s plenty to do in the city and surrounding areas. Sample some delicious local fare, explore our history and cultural creativity or pull on your boots and head out on one of the many hiking trails!
Outdoor recreation
Explore the depths of lush forests or the banks of the St. Lawrence, take a trip to a wildlife reserve or an outfitters, or venture over a dizzying canyon on the highest suspended footbridge in Quebec. A trip to Rimouski-Neigette is not one you’ll forget anytime soon!
Arts and culture
Rimouski is a cultural hub! Home to two theatres, there is no shortage of shows to enjoy. Don’t miss your chance to attend the famous Festi Jazz or Grandes Fêtes Telus festivals, both events pull in big names and huge crowds.
The St. Lawrence River
The St. Lawrence spoils us with delicious seafood such as crab, sea urchins and seaweed. Take a walk along the harbour to watch the fishing boats coming in and see what they’re unloading.
History and heritage
Get your fill of local history visiting museums devoted to the Bas-Saint-Laurent’s heritage: tour a genuine Royal Canadian Navy submarine, climb to the top of the second-tallest lighthouse in Canada or learn more about the greatest maritime tragedy in the country’s history at the Empress of Ireland Museum.
