Spring in Montreal is the best season to get to know the city better. It’s not that cold or hot so that you can enjoy all the city’s events without suffering from the extremes. One of the many things we love about our work here at Corporate Stays is finding out what our travelers are doing. Why are they staying with us? What brings them to the area? We often find that along with business, many of our travelers want to discover the city and the events happening in Montreal.
Whether you’re planning on heading to Montreal soon or you’re here on business, why not take advantage of all the city has to offer? Montreal has an action-packed spring calendar, so turn your business trip into a “bleisure” one.
For the History Aficionado
Suppose you love learning about history, art, and beautiful artifacts from days gone by. In that case, Montreal’s Museum Day will appeal to you. On Sunday, May 26, almost all museums and galleries in Montreal will be free to visit.
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Canadian Centre for Architecture, and even the McCord Museum, among many others, won’t cost a dime to enjoy. Here, you can soak up the history, fun things to do for kids, and many exhibitions during this time.
For the Music Lover
If you can’t help but tap your feet to a tune, attend the Pouzza Fest from May 17 to 19, in the Quartier des Spectacles while in Montreal. This Punk Rock Music Festival boasts outdoor shows, food trucks, and barbecues. All bands are within walking distance of each other, and tickets are as little as $40 through to $100.
But if you are more of a classical music type, The Montreal Chamber Music Festival will suit you. It celebrates the intimate art of chamber music in all its forms, presenting outstanding performers in concert and uniting established artists with emerging talent from around the world from June 7 to 16th.
For the Foodie
Are you a foodie who loves to try something new in every city you visit? Then, once you check into your premium Montreal accommodation, you can loosen your pants for the Fete du Croissant. This event happens every May, including over 75 bakeries offering discounted and delicious croissants. Once you’ve had your fill, you’ll need a long nap!
Luring in the Wordsmith
If you’re a bit of a literary genius or adore nothing more than settling down with a book, then make sure you’re in Montreal during late April and early May. During this time, The Blue Metropolis Literary Festival is in full swing.
The Festival brings authors, publishers, illustrators, and more from worldwide, and it’s a not-to-be-missed experience. This year, there will also be over 200 events throughout Montreal to celebrate literature and everything about it.
For The Two-Wheel Enthusiasts
Bicycle fever takes over the city for a few days in May and June as the Go Bike Montreal Festival takes place with an exciting series of much-anticipated events, including the Tour la Nuit and the Tour de l’Île de Montréal.
Getting together, having fun, creating memories – that’s what it’s all about! This popular event is an excellent opportunity to bike stress-free along an untimed route with thousands of other two-wheel enthusiasts.
Appealing to the Arts Lover
A stroll up Saint-Laurent Boulevard any time is colorful, but even more so during the MURAL Festival in mid-June, when you can watch artists paint new works on buildings’ walls – and don’t miss spotting Montreal’s murals of Leonard Cohen on Crescent Street near the Sir Winston Churchill Pub and on Saint-Laurent Boulevard at Napoleon Street not far from Schwartz’s.
Getting the Motor Enthusiast Purring
The Canada Grand Prix, on a technicality, is a spring event. Still, it also marks the beginning of summer with a bang. If you’re a motor enthusiast, this is an event you will want to attend. Moreover, as it brings over half a million people to Montreal, you must book accommodation months in advance. The Canada Grand Prix is from June 6 to 9 and offers an atmosphere you’d never believe.
