It’s an irresistible invitation to join in the frolic and freshness of the Celebration
of Light! With a terrific array of festive and free activities, the program annually
attracts thousands and thousands of Montrealers and tourists eager to experience
winter from a different perspective!
In the heart of the city’s historic quarter, formed by Old Montreal and the Quays of the Old Port, the Celebration offers fun for the
whole family: speed down a slide made entirely from ice, or glide across the skating
rink; join the torchlight procession, or pour into our impressive heated sphere,
where DJs and VJs drive a dance-made festival crowd, while all around you, fireworks
and braziers light up a night filled with free outdoor concerts!
Join us for two long weekends of pleasure, from Thursday, February 19 to Sunday,
February 22, and from Friday, February 27 to Sunday, March 1, 2009.
