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!
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.
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.
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!
