My dad is visiting me in Canada and so, as part of the quintessential tour, we decided to make a quick trip to Quebec City.
We started walking late in the evening and only after we took the first round of photos we noticed a series of buildings-with-googly-eyes that kept making guest appearances in the background.

Turns out we were in town while the 10th edition of Passages Insolites was taking place. This is a public art festival happening every summer in Quebec City. This year, the festival features works by more than forty artists from Quebec, Canada and abroad.
Definitely a great surprise to discover this festival during our visit and a new art event to add to the art radar!
