The Old Montreal Extravaganza celebrates the holiday season with various indoor and outdoor activities and features the very first International Village of Christmas Traditions at Place Jacques-Cartier. Set up in a dozen chalets, a group of artisans offers an array of original products inspired by the arts, traditions, and gastronomy of Christmas. The New Year’s Eve Grand Bal, also at Place Jacques-Cartier and spilling into the Quays of the Old Port, rings in the new year with traditional folk music and spectacular fireworks.
