Even in the winter months, it is no time to hide indoors. The annual Fete des Neiges winter carnival is ideal for families and anyone who loves winter. Sliding, skating, games and entertainment are just some of the spectacularly fun activities. Every year, the 11-day Montreal En Lumiere festival celebrates light, culture and food, culminating with Nuit Blanche, an all-night indoor and outdoor party during which night owls can go to museums, venues, theatres, restaurants and bars, open ‘til the wee hours of the morning throughout the city. At Igloo Fest, thousands keep warm by dancing to the best in electronic music.

In the spring and summer months, enjoy sampling hundreds of beers from around the world at Montreal's Mondial de la Biere. Take your sights to the sky and experience the Montreal International Fireworks Competition or view fantastic theatrical performances during the Montreal Fringe Festival. Believe it or not, this town is high on energy every season. A true bustling and lively city, a visit here is a must.

The months June, July, August and September have nice weather with a good average temperature. The statistically coldest month of the year is January, but is more than manageable with the right clothes.
