Sherbrooke, December 6, 2024 – This December, the Ville de Sherbrooke invites everyone to embrace the festive spirit with a variety of activities that showcase Sherbrooke’s winter charm.

The Elves Return to Centreville (downtown)

The much-loved chasse aux lutins (elf hunt) is back for its fifth year, running from Saturday, December 7, 2024, to Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

This year features two unique trails:
