Quebec City October 2023 events belong to a dated archive, not a current calendar. This page preserves that month while directing readers to current organizers for new editions.
October 2023 mixed fall-color season with concerts, theater, literary events and conventions across Quebec City.
Quebec Comiccon
The Quebec City convention brought pop-culture programming to the Québec City Convention Centre in early October 2023. Anyone looking for a future edition should use the official Quebec Comiccon site, because guests, ticket rules and dates change every year.
The city’s literary festival returned in October, with programming tied to books, writers and public-space installations. The festival’s official site is the source for a current program.
Concerts and performances
Palais Montcalm, Grand Théâtre de Québec, Le Capitole, Impérial Bell and other venues hosted touring and local performances throughout the month.
October is also when visitors often combine events with foliage, hiking and seasonal attractions. Exact peak-color dates vary from year to year.
Why preserve this archive?
A dated calendar still has value when it is clearly labeled. It shows the mix of conventions, literature, performance and outdoor activity that shaped a particular month, and it gives researchers or returning visitors a snapshot of what was happening in the city.
What not to assume
Do not assume a recurring event will return on the same weekend, at the same venue or with the same ticket model. Touring concerts are even less predictable. A venue name in this archive confirms what happened in October 2023, not what is scheduled now.
Start with official organizer calendars, then add foliage and outdoor time after checking the weather. Keep one flexible block because October conditions can move a hike or walking tour from pleasant to miserable quickly. For ticketed events, verify the year printed on the sales page before paying.
Where to confirm performances
For a future visit, consult the official calendars for the Grand Théâtre de Québec, Palais Montcalm, Le Capitole and other named venues. Search by the year of travel and confirm the ticket seller from the venue page; old search results and copied event listings can remain online long after a performance.
Archives can show the types of events that tend to happen in October, but recurring festivals can change dates, venues or format. Always confirm a new edition with the organizer.

How to use this archive today
An old event calendar is useful for seeing the rhythm of a month, but it is not a schedule for a future trip. Annual events can change weekends, venues, ticketing systems or even whether they return. Start with the organizer’s current site, then check the venue and date before booking transportation or a hotel.
The archive also helps with expectations. October can combine literary programming, pop-culture events, concerts and fall outdoor activities, but not every year has the same mix. Build a current plan from live sources and use this page only as historical context. That keeps a dated article useful without turning 2023 details into accidental advice.
