A Busy Summer

After breaking visitor records last year, the Old Port is preparing for another fabulous summer combining new activities with classics that have won the hearts of Montrealers.

New in 2018

• The Montréal Science Centre is hosting DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition until September 16, in addition to the new IMAX film, America's Musical Journey 3D.
• The Montréal Observation Wheel will be open for the first time for the entire summer. With its panoramic view from a height of 60 metres, the Wheel will be a great place to watch the Loto-Québec Fireworks.
• The Jardin des Ecluses will offer stays on the banks of the Lachine Canal this summer. Operated by Parks Canada, this site has 7 oTENTIK units available for reservations at $120 per night, tax included. By far the most original and accessible way to stay in Montréal.
• The Asian Night Market will be held on the Clock Tower Pier from August 17 to 19. A unique riverside experience for lovers of all types of Asian food.
• A Kid's World is a new festival that will be held here for the first time from July 18 to 22. An activity created especially for your young vacationers.

Return of the Classics

Following the tradition of the last several years, lovers of good food and music will be served first-rate events:

• Try the Montréal International Reggae Festival and you'll be hooked. This venerable festival will celebrate its 14th edition from August 10 to 12.
• The Orientalys Festival, from August 2 to 5, is the perfect opportunity to discover Eastern cultures.
• From June 12 to 15, A Taste of the Caribbean will offer the food, music and arts of over 20 Caribbean countries.
• The famous Great Montréal Ribfest will be held this year from September 10 to 13. What better way to end the summer than enjoying Montreal's best ribs grilled an enormous BBQ?
• And just saying Great Montréal PoutineFest is enough to get your taste buds throbbing. This quintessentially Quebec festival will take place on the Jacques-Cartier Pier from July 31 to August 5. Bon appétit!
• The Lolë White Tour loves the Old Port, and the feeling is mutual. The all-white yoga session will be back on August 18. An event to experience or relive.
