Top 10....NO!....Top 11 Annual Events and Festivals In Montreal
1- Just for Laughs Comedy Festival
We were born to make you laugh. From our humble beginnings in 1983 at the Saint-Denis Theatre in Montreal to laughing our way to become the largest global player in the humour industry, we’ve made funny our business. Each year we make millions of people laugh with festivals at home, in Montreal and abroad. We’re home to some serious talent. We’ve hosted comedy’s greatest and watched up-and-comers skyrocket right before our laugh-so-hard-we’re crying eyes. We’ve staged our own comedy, musical and touring shows. We’ve broadcasted digital and television content. We know how to throw a party. And we’re not even close to leaving the spotlight.

9- MUTEK
Launched in the year 2000, MUTEK is dedicating itself to the presentation of live electronic music and real-time audiovisual performance, making it one of the rare outlets in North America for such innovations. After 20 years, the festival’s future-seeking mandate has matured—and while the promise has in many ways caught up with the present—its commitment to the ongoing mutations and variations of contemporary digital creativity remain, with its eyes and ears still fixated on what comes next.

11- Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada
Gilles-Villeneuve circuit has evolved while remaining very faithful to the original design of its creator. Its layout still remains very current, and even refreshing compared to recent design paths which seem to lack a little character. Although it is an urban circuit, near the city center and accessible by Metro, it nonetheless remains an authentic Formula 1 circuit, initially designed for this sole function. The rest of the year, the track becomes a training site for running or cycling, to the delight of Montreal citizens.
