The sparkling oases of Montréal's summer
This article was updated on June 6, 2022.
Simply put, Montréal loves summer—and it’s easy to see! From leisurely hanging out on charming terrasses to picnicking and playing in the city’s leafy parks, Montréalers make the most of the season from sunrise to far after sunset. As part of 2022’s the city’s Les aventures du cœur de l’île roster of summer programming, the Quartier des Spectacles and Downtown Montréal are once again unveiling eight Oases rest areas designed by local designers and creatives. Each offers the perfect opportunity for a moment’s rest, some musical accompaniment and prime people-watching—not to mention some killer backdrops for your travel photography.
