Things to do in Montréal: January 27 to February 2
We’re having fun staying warm this week in Montréal, whether we’re outside on skates or contemplating Chagall in the museum, watching a hockey game or dancing all night, taking in a show or ringing in the city’s 375th anniversary.

Winter’s all fun and games with Montréal’s 375th anniversary Les Hivernales: this weekend have fun at free and family-friendly Fête des neiges, transforming Parc Jean-Drapeau into a playground with a massive ice-sculpted Pirate ship, snow tubing, a Ferris Wheel, live shows and more activities. Watch a game, meet former Montréal Canadiens players and listen to live music by The Planet Smashers and more at hockey tournament Classique Montréalaise, Jan. 28 and 29 in Parc Jean-Drapeau. Cross-country ski and snowshoe with the Grande Traversée du Saint-Laurent, a winter sports odyssey stopping on Jan. 28 in Mount Royal Park. Party in the Old Port at electronic music festival Igloofest, pairing exquisite visuals with electronic music by Laurent Garnier, Oniris and more artists on Friday and Eats Everything, Catz ‘n Dogz and more on Saturday, while Kannibalen Records gets weekend #4 going on Feb. 2. Day or night, try Igloofest’s Nordik ice slide on Place Jacques-Cartier or visit the Nordik Village next to Quai Jacques-Cartier.
Montrealers aren’t afraid of a little cold weather – get outside and play in the snow with them, but be sure to dress for it and follow up with hot chocolate. Take advantage of the many free things to do this winter: go ice skating at Mount Royal Park’s Beaver Lake and Park La Fontaine; or spin the giant art-embellished zoetropes of this year’s Luminothérapie interactive art exhibition, open until Jan. 29. There’s ice skating in the Old Port and at Olympic Stadium Esplanade’s Village Mammouth , which also boasts a tube slide, entertainment and an activity area for kids. Indoors, things gets tropical at the Biodôme and Botanical Garden, just two of the many worlds at the Montréal Space for Life. And can cheer on NHL greats the Montréal Canadiens as they take on the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 31 at the Bell Centre.
