© Tourisme Montréal, Stéphan Poulin - Festival International de Jazz de Montréal

While some cities roll up the sidewalk at night, Montréal rolls the sidewalk onto the street for days (and nights) at a time.And when streets get closed to traffic, outdoor cafés and restaurants pop up like palm trees across the pavement for your clients to roam, mingle with the locals and enjoy all the fun.

Your gourmets will love Montréal en lumière for the best in cuisine plus dazzling things to do and see. Bring your jetsetters to the Grand Prix du Canada for F1 racing, your francophiles to FrancoFolies fun, your fashionistas to the Montréal Fashion and Design Festival. And you can bring just about everybody to our famed Jazz and Just for Laughs festivals, where they’ll see some of the biggest and brightest stars in show business.

But the biggest and brightest stars in the summer sky are the International des Feux Loto-Québec, Montréal’s spectacular fireworks competition, with visitors and locals alike oohing and aahing in unison.

Montrealers – with our long history of throwing great parties – love to mingle with these visitors. After all, we came here from various corners of the world ourselves, at some generation or another, and stayed to create one of the best and safest places in the world for joie de vivre – four glorious seasons a year.

Film, music, art, song, dance – the list is as long as there are days in a year. Your clients’ days and nights in Montréal will be unforgettable!
