The Magic of Lanterns

Unmissable Chinese Lantern festival (Mid-Sep–Oct)

Montreal’s Magic of Lanterns involves lighting up the Chinese section of Montreal Botanical Garden with some 700 silk lanterns, making it a must-see if you’re in town between mid-September and late-October.

Lanterns are only used for a single year, with next year's batch being commissioned months in advance then shipped from Shanghai to Canada by boat.
