The whole notion of a winter carnival can be traced back to New France. It is an outdoor celebration that occurs in the dead of winter.  In the beginning, a Winter Carnival was a way to devise activities that would defy the harsh elements of winter and offer an escape from the bleak dark days of the season.  Over the last decade winter carnivals are emerging just to celebrate the winter season as a time to be celebrated rather than just endured.
