Montreal Winter Carnivals
Montreal Winter Articles were week-long social and recreational festivals held during the 1880s in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Organized largely by the city's sporting clubs, the Winter Carnivals were centered on winter sports and other activities such as tobogganing and snowshoeing. More than this however, the carnivals helped to establish Montreal as a winter destination during the late nineteenth century.
==Purpose==
The Montreal Winter Carnivals were held in 1883, 1884, 1885, 1887, and 1889. Originally conceived of by Robert D. McGibbon, a lawyer and member of the Montreal Snow Shoe Club,〔Dufresne, Sylvie. “Le Carnaval d’hiver de Montreal, 1803-1889,” Revue d’Histoire Urbaine 11, 3 (February 1983),26.〕 these carnivals were meant to showcase Canadian sports and outdoor activities unique to Montreal. The goals behind such an endeavor was specifically said to be recreational, touristic, and economic, as well as having an additional influence on the establishment of Canadian national identity.〔Poulter, Gillian. “Chapter 4: ‘Our Winter Sports:’ The Montreal Winter Carnival,” Becoming Native in a foreign land: Sport, Visual Culture, and Identity in Montreal, 1840-85, (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2009) 166〕 On average, roughly 50,00 spectators would arrive for the week in late January or early February, a large percentage of whom were from the United States and Europe, all wishing to view and take part in the activities.〔Poulter, 166〕
