February – March

The Festival Folifrets Baie-James has been snowmobile competitions and “winter carnival” type festivities for more than 50 years. It was in 1967 that a member of the Chibougamau Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Léopold Larouche, proposed to organize a snowmobile competition in Chibougamau. 

Since then, every year, the city of Chibougamau shines, for about ten days, through its unique winter festival, where the sport of snowmobiling is in the spotlight.
