Esplanade de la Place des Arts

Bustling with life in every season, the Esplanade de la Place des Arts is the ideal gathering place for outdoor events in downtown Montréal. In both summer and winter, it is host to Montréal's biggest festivals, cultural activities and popular celebrations: the Festival international de Jazz de Montréal, the Francos de Montréal, Montréal en lumière, and much more! Its annual program also includes a number of seasonal events, free or ticketed, that bring the people of Québec together in a vibrant location dedicated to celebrating art and culture!
