This story takes place in the magical setting of Quartier Petit-Champlain a very long time ago, when everything was more rustic and smaller. In fact, the city was so small that it fit in a small glass ball! This time when winters seemed endless, when there was tons of snow and when the true values of Christmas were very different from today. This story tells the many adventures of a group of brave inhabitants who, thanks to impeccable planning and exemplary execution, succeeded in turning Christmas upside down like one turns over a snow globe and brings back the values as they are knows today. Follow our out-of-the-ordinary guide on his exhilarating journey through the memories of this perilous gift theft, or more accurately, see how they stopped the Grinch from stealing Christmas.
By following the guide or by browsing the animations randomly, walkers will be invited to discover the amazing disciplines of the professional acrobats of FLIP Fabrique. In order to restore the balance of the party (and the tightrope walker!), the gift thieves, all dressed in colorful costumes, will try to fill the Christmas pocket to the delight of the public.
Three presentations per day will be held between 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m from December 3 to December 31, 2022.
