Montréal's MURAL Festival is ready to wow for 2024, with a colourful mix of outdoor urban art and block parties to start the Montréal summer off in style! From June 6 to 16, MURAL's 2024 edition showcases massive murals and other artworks in the making, created in front of our eyes. Discover the art, live music, street food and more at the festival's tried-and-true locations along Saint-Laurent Boulevard and in a new block-party venue in Mile End.

Massive art and music energizes Montréal

Spot Montréal artists and artists from across Canada, the US, and the world as they create storeys-high street art on building facades on pedestrian-only Saint-Laurent Boulevard and among the blocks to the east and west of The Main, from Sherbrooke Street to Mont-Royal Avenue.

Live music returns to MURAL Festival with dozens of outdoor performances in the heart of the art action. While on Saint-Laurent Boulevard, catch 10 days of free concerts on the Milton Stage, where you’ll be treated to some of the best in Montréal musical talent. Hang out on the terrace, grab a bite to eat, check out events, and more!

 

Artists take to the streets

Whether you're familiar with mural artistry or new to the international art form, MURAL Festival will upend your expectations with its incredible artists, each with their own style, from colourful and celebratory to monochrome and momentous. This year, the festival presents both mural artists and installation artists, creating an even more tactile and immersive art experience.
