La Lutinerie is a visionary non-profit organization, unique in North America, and active since 2014. We organize free cultural events year-round, shining a light on the creativity of Montreal and Quebec.
Our mission is to celebrate heritage, nature, and local talent, drawing more than 850,000 visits annually through our Enchanting Circuit, a six-week winter experience that lights up the city—the longest winter event held on public land in Quebec.
800 000+
annual visits to the Fairy Circuit.
7 weeks
of non-stop programming across Montréal — the longest-running winter event in Québec.

A growing community that makes our events possible, year after year.
Our team
Architects, IT experts, marketing specialists, designers, bakers, students, and culture lovers all come together to create something truly exceptional.
Every scene and light installation is imagined and handcrafted in our workshops, then brought to life on site by our teams, a true labour of love that transforms the city into a magical holiday destination.
