Get outside and play in Montréal this winter

Montréal is known for summer street festivals and open-air events, but the outdoor fun doesn’t stop when the weather gets cold. This January also marks the start of Montréal’s 375th anniversary – bet on plenty of celebratory snow-and-ice themed outdoor activities all winter.

The first of Montréal’s 375th anniversary events begins with Les Hivernales, an action-packed program for all-ages, featuring outdoor hockey games, curling, a soap box derby on St-Denis, an ice-canoe challenge and more. In the heart of downtown, the Barbegazi winter action sports festival installs an skill-testing obstacle course January 6-8 and 13-15, along with chances to try snowskating, fatbiking, wood cutting and Christmas-tree throwing.
