International Fireworks

Fireworks Festival/Competition (Jul)

Feux d'artifice au port du vieux Montréal

For eight evenings in July the skies above La Ronde light up with brilliant fireworks as part of International Fireworks a festival which sees various countries compete with rival shows.

But in truth the competition aspect of the event comes very secondary to the sheer quality of the spectacle, that attracts crowds of around 200,000.

The place to be is on or around Jacques Cartier Bridge. Many people simply head to Metro Papineau and make their way to the waterfront from there. But if you're feeling flush you might spring for the $60 tickets at La Ronde (parking is extra).

If you're watching in the streets, tune in to radio station 105.7 Rythme FM to hear the accompanying soundtrack.
