Tutu Tuesday in Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare, Quebec: A Whirlwind of Tutus! #tututuesday Okay, you guys, Tutu Tuesday has officially become my favourite day of the week! I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to twirl around in a fluffy, beautiful tutu? And for today's #tututuesday adventures, I'm taking you with me to Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare, Quebec, the cutest little town nestled in the Laurentians. Let's be honest, Quebec is kind of a hotbed for ballet lovers. It’s home to some of Canada's most prestigious dance schools, from the École Supérieure de Ballet du Québec to the Montreal Ballet, so it's only natural that tutu fever would run high in these parts. Now, Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare may be small, but the locals sure know how to celebrate! Today's Tutu Tuesday extravaganza started bright and early at the town square, which had been transformed into a fairytale wonderland of pink and purple streamers. It felt like stepping right into a ballet performance - minus the actual performance, but you know what? We had some amazing "practice" twirling going on. The crowd was buzzing, there was music playing, and the energy was electric. I was so excited, I almost started doing pirouettes in my jeans! Speaking of twirling, the whole town seemed to be decked out in the most gorgeous tutus! We're talking classics like the traditional pancake tutu, with its multi-layered ruffles - always so chic, and even more dramatic when the wind whips through them - plus we had plenty of modern, minimalist tutus that looked straight out of a fashion magazine. One even sported an interesting patchwork of fabrics, creating a totally unique and trendy look. I think I saw a couple of tutus with sequins and feathers - what a glorious, and truly Canadian mix of sophistication and flair! **So, What Makes Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare Tutu Tuesday So Special?** * The entire town gets involved: It's not just about ballerinas, although they do steal the show.

It's a free-for-all of fun, a delightful chaos of laughter, and a visual feast of twirling tutus. And honestly? I'm not going to lie. It made me want to start ballet classes all over again. The day was full of fun surprises. A local ice cream shop served up "Tutu Twist" sundaes with swirls of pink and purple ice cream and sprinkles galore. That’s not even mentioning the delicious tutu-shaped cupcakes! My personal favourite was a "Tutu Mocha" - yum! Later on, I even got to chat with some locals about their own tutu journeys!
