When you stop and think about it, there is never a shortage of fun in Montreal, and that is certainly the case with Montreal festivals. Above all, Montreal is quite a popular city to uncover when summer time begins to approach because, if nothing else, there will most certainly be at least one,\u00a0of many, Montreal festivals that the entire\u00a0family can appreciate.<\/p>\n
So, without further ado, I present to you some of the Montreal\u00a0festivals you definitely\u00a0don’t<\/em>\u00a0want to miss (unless, of course, you despise all things fun and exciting, which is totally fine).<\/p>\n July 13 – July 28, 2019<\/em><\/p>\n One of many\u00a0world-renowned\u00a0Montreal festivals on this list, Just For Laughs will be celebrating its 37th anniversary. Believe it or not, it is the world’s largest, most prestigious comedy festivals, encompassing\u00a0galas, theatre, musicals as well as stand-up performances and street entertainment.<\/p>\n June 27 – July 6, 2019<\/em><\/p>\n Also known as Jazzfest, this is also one of the most famous Montreal festivals. Moreover, it is the largest jazz festivals on the planet, no joke. It entails a total of 800 concerts (and two-thirds of them are free), as well as 600 activities\u00a0for the 2.5 million visitors in attendance. No jazz enthusiast in their right mind will want to miss this.<\/p>\n August – Dates to be confirmed<\/em><\/p>\n For an entire two days straight, Parc Jean-Drapeau becomes an urban electronica oasis of sorts. Out of all the Montreal festivals, this one is the most likely to get you moving to the beat of EDM and hip-hop, courteously\u00a0brought to you by world-famous DJs and artists.<\/p>\n August – Dates to be confirmed<\/em><\/p>\n This one is for you ladies and gentlemen\u00a0who enjoy\u00a0indulging\u00a0in the world of fashion. Attracting more than half a million yearly visitors, the Montreal Fashion & Design Festival is, unsurprisingly, the largest North American outdoor fashion event, bringing together leading international labels, renowned\u00a0designers, musical performances, and much more to\u00a0squeal\u00a0over.<\/p>\n June – Dates to be confirmed<\/em><\/p>\n Regarding Montreal festivals, this one here is one of my favorites, if not for its uniqueness alone. In short, it is an international art festival with the goal of celebrating\u00a0creativity and, more importantly, the democratization of urban art (street art).<\/p>\n May 17 – May 19, 2019<\/em><\/p>\n As the title suggests, this is one of few Montreal festivals catered to punks (I wasn’t kidding when I wrote that there is a festival for everyone). It is a three-day alternative and independent music festival in which local and international\u00a0artists\u00a0perform at numerous Montreal concert venues and, better still, one huge outdoor event.<\/p>\n1.
