Top 3 unforgettable experiential activities for your groups in Québec City

Québec City’s roots stem in part from the Huron-Wendat First Nations. Wendake, located just on the outskirts of the city, is the name of two urban reserves that are home to many members of the community.

Onhwa' Lumina is an enchanting night walk that takes place on the reserves and immerses attendees in the history, heritage and values of the Huron-Wendat Nation. Created by Moment Factory, a world-renowned multimedia entertainment studio, along with First Nations experts, Onhwa' Lumina starts at dusk and is offered in all 4 seasons. Along a 1.2 km path, participants will be transported by the magic of light, sound and video projections. This immersive multimedia experience is a collective adventure rich in emotions, connecting the founding myth to a promising and unifying future. Under the stars, participants will be swept away by the rhythms and songs of Huron-Wendat ancestors.

The Monastère des Augustines is just one of the many iconic spiritual venues available to tour in Québec City. Located in a restored former cloister of the Augustinian Sisters who travelled from New France to care for the sick in 1639, this off-site venue is a compelling blend of historical and contemporary influences. For nearly 400 years, the Sisters cared for the sick and needy as Québec City evolved into the cultural capital of the world it is known for today. The monastery, “#1 Travel Destination Worldwide for Physical and Mental Reboot” by National Geographic Traveller, is now a hotel, event venue and wellness center in the heart of Old Québec.
