There are so many festivals, I wouldn't want to create an individual tip for each. For a pretty good list, checkout one of my General tips.

Bunch of crazy people jumping in white water in diving suits.

Festival des FrancoFolies

Again, one more big festival in Montreal, almost the last one this summer.
Not only great to have a big overview of the music from Québec, but also great for all kind of music from around the world from francophone countries.

August 16-18, 2004.
It's great and happening soon!
Haha, VT meeting season is coming.
Montréal, one of the greatest city in the world!!
Both to live in and to visit. One of the first cities colonized in America (founded in 1642), it was founded by the French and used as a trading post. It stayed an important port and relay point as Canada was explored.
The French culture can be found everywhere in this city, the most European city in all of North America. Although French is spoken by 80% of the population, visitors can get by just fine in English.
Montréal is very cosmopolite. French and English are spoken by a big portion of the population, we have a Chinatown; Greek, Italian, Indian, Spanish, Haitian, Jamaican, south American, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc... are found also in Montreal.
When I am not traveling, Montréal is a great place to be. Scan the yellow pages (phone book) in the restaurant section, you will find both an alphabetical and a category section. So, travel by proxy by dining in numerous international restaurants.
Bon séjour à Montréal.
Pierre
- Pros:French ambiance in a North America setting
- Cons:Haha, we shoot English people at sight here!!
- In a nutshell:The most cosmopolite city I know!
