Montreal is a city of festivals, a tradition that peaks in the summer but continues year-round. Please see our EVENT LISTING CALENDAR for day-to-day details. Dates for 2008 are being added now as they become available. A few festival sites play music automatically. I try to take note of this but it can turn up unexpectedly.
