Festivals in Montreal
The city that is never monotonous is the beloved Montreal of all. The street
smells of a new art festival coming up one day or the spiritual awakening
the other. The range that festivals in Montreal carry is extraordinary! It
is the city that keeps on surprising you and keeps you on your toes about
what’s coming next? Here are some of the festivals that are guaranteed to
come back every year, but with more shine, shimmer, and more glam!
1) Mural Festival
Every June, the Mural organization organizes the
Mural Festival
, a public art event held along Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal. The
festival incorporates large murals, musical performances, digital works, and
technology-focused exhibitions. They are not just for one festival!
Throughout the year, MURAL also creates art and hosts unique events in
Montreal and other parts of Quebec. The creativity never leaves the city
because of them.
2) International First Peoples' Festival
This ten-day festival, held in Montréal's cultural venues, is a significant
occasion to revive Indigenous cultures from all over the Americas and the
world. Numerous events are available as part of an interesting
multidisciplinary program, including live performances, seminars,
exhibitions, international film contests, big concerts, traditional dance,
and live performances. With a scenography evoking the worldview of the First
Peoples and drawing inspiration from modern Indigenous artists impacted by a
rich artistic and spiritual legacy, the
International First Peoples' Festival
is turned into a site of exploration. The longhouse, the teepees, and the
enormous central teepee are not to be missed.
3) The Metaphysical & Spiritual Show of Montreal
Montreal's most unique festival offers fantastic opportunities to explore!
This festival invites anybody who is curious to enjoy this unique experience
and learn more about spirituality and the metaphysical. Over 10,000 people
attend the
Metaphysical Show of Montreal
, one of the city's most significant spiritual events, with over 140
exhibitors. To top up your excitement, it is an entirely free festival!
