QUÉBEC CITY, Aug. 7, 2025 /CNW/ - What if the Capitale-Nationale officially earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title? This year, the Grands Feux Loto-Québec are calling on everyone to come together and break a world record — right here, in Québec City and Lévis!
Tonight, everyone is invited to the biggest Pajama Party ever— a festive, inclusive and free event. Dressed in their funkiest two-piece pajamas, friends, families, and colleagues are encouraged to take part in this unique moment to help shine a global spotlight on Québec City and Lévis. It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity to make history!
A record to beat... in slippers
The current world record for the largest gathering of people wearing two-piece pajamas is held by IKEA, which brought together 2,051 employees in Älmhult, Sweden, in 2024.
"We attract tens of thousands of people every night, so breaking this record is definitely within our reach," says Jean-François Archambault, Event Director of the Grands Feux Loto-Québec. "We're confident we can do it — on both sides of the river!"
Everyone is invited to slip into their finest two-piece pajamas and join us at Place des Canotiers in Québec City or Quai Paquet in Lévis to experience a historic moment — all in maximum comfort!
The official count for the world record attempt will take place at 9 p.m., but the festivities begin as early as 6 p.m. A fun and memorable evening awaits, culminating in a spectacular pyromusical fireworks show lighting up the sky at 10 p.m.
