Description

MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS FESTIVAL After the immense success of last year’s 10th anniversary edition, two facts are beyond question: the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival presented by Hydro-Québec has firmly established itself as the city’s urban winter event par excellence, and Montrealers can’t get enough this wonderful winter stuff! And among the many reasons for this outburst of joy in the heart of winter, look no further than the BMO Bank of Montreal Celebration of Light, the perfect antidote to the winter blahs! For this 11th edition, February puts on a fresh face with a host of new attractions, the most important being the newest expansion of the site itself to include the Place des Festivals: alongside Old Montreal and the Quays of the Old Port, the heart of the Celebration of Light, this new playground greatly expands the parameters of the Festival… and bigger is better, in every sense! While weekends reign as ever in Old Montreal and on the Old Port (with different programming every day), the celebration continues all week long on the Place des Festivals (excluding Sunday and Monday)! In other words, more activities than ever and more opportunities for fun on a more accessible site! This new vintage of the city’s free outdoor winter celebration uncorks from Thursday, February 18 to Sunday, February 28. Not even a year old, and already Party Central: expect the Place des Festivals in the Quartier des spectacles to live up to its reputation as the ultimate HQ for communal celebration this winter, especially with the addition of its brand-new Espace L’Oréal, and an array of surprises set to electrify the downtown core… MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS FESTIVAL PICTURES Thanks Magik
