Francos

Giant French-language music fest (mid-Jun)

Montreal, Canada

Francos (previously called Francofolies) is a 9-day francophone music festival that attracts musicians from all over the world, making it the largest such fest.

The breadth of the genres is about as wide as it gets: from traditional folk to the latest electronica DJs.

The programme involves around 70 indoor shows, but there are about twice as many free outdoor shows that set up along Saint Catherine Street in the Quartier des Spectacles to form a hub for things.
