A fun Christmas in the Old City
The whole thing started this week-end in and around Royal Square in the lower part of the old city. The entire program has been established by the Museum of civilisation along with sister organisations like the Centre of Interpretation of the Royal Square and is intended for children of all ages, after all, aren't we all children when Christmas comes.
In one of the plays scheduled, secrets about Santa are revealed by one of his elves. What could that secret be? Helves will also hold workshop for kids every day until Janaury 4th and last but not least, Hansel and Gretel will fly in from Germany to participate in a musical performed every day from the 27th till the 30th of December. How about that!
When come the holidays in Quebec, it's time for the turlute, the traditional music with a hint of Celtic. Along with the strings and/or the accordion, the typical instruments are a couple of spoons and a pair of feet taping to mark the rhythm and to get people dancing at these end of the year gigs. . Well, if you want to learn how to play the spoons, a unique opportunity will be given at the centre of interpretation of Place Royale every afternoon from 12 to 4:30 PM, and this until December 30th.
