Montreal tends to be on the warm and possibly sticky side in early July, with the temperature often climbing to over 30° Celsius (mid to upper 80° Fahrenheit). If you prefer not to melt in the sun, shorts and other light clothing are the order of the day, and for most evenings as well. We also recommend some sunscreen, and a hat. But the instability of Quebec weather having acquired legendary status, a windbreaker may sometimes come in handy, especially after sundown.

Are the open-air performances cancelled or postponed in case of rain?

Following the policy of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, no open-air concerts scheduled during the festival will be cancelled due to rain. If a concert is interrupted due to meteorological conditions, as soon as weather permits, the concert will resume until the end of the time slot indicated on the schedule.
