Finding us in Montreal

Located in the very heart of downtown Montreal, the Festival site is contained in the four block radius of Ste-Catherine, President-Kennedy, Bleury and St-Urbain streets. The readily identifiable landmarks of Complexe Desjardins and the Place des Arts are right at the center of the festivities.

Given that certain streets are closed to traffic during the Festival and that parking spots downtown are at a bit of a premium, the best ways of getting to the Festival are by metro (subway), by taxi or on foot.

Subway station Place-des-Arts, on the green line, offers direct entrance to the Festival site.

For those with no choice but to come by car, there are various paid parking possibilities surrounding the site and even right on it.

Of course, bicycles and in-line skates are equally good methods of transportation, but bear in mind they can't be used on the site. (Safety first…).
