5 Fun things to do this weekend in Montréal! (June 13 - 15)
Festivals and events Leisure activities, nature and relaxation The city
Feel the need for speed? You’re going to love Formula 1 in Montréal this weekend. But the city is also offering relaxed options: symphony, live music, and, of course, options to celebrate the wonderful fathers of the world.
To enjoy the best the city has to offer during your stay, please don't think of yourself as a tourist, but as one of us. Whether you're here for a few days, a few weeks or a few years, we're counting on you to enjoy Montréal in a spirit of respect, responsibility and celebration!
1. Celebrate Dad.
This Father’s Day, go beyond the usual and celebrate Dad with something uniquely Montréal. You could wander through a festival of murals, see incredible circus, go bungee jumping, sip a cocktail, and more. We have a big list of ways to honour the leading men in your life!
2. Feel the roar of an engine.
The 2025 Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada roars into Montréal this weekend, bringing three days of speed, spectacle, and city-wide celebration. As the world’s best drivers hit the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Parc Jean-Drapeau, fans can expect more than just roaring engines and flying chequered flags. Plenty of offsite activities — many of them free.
3. Listen to beautiful classical music.
Head to the stunning Maison Symphonique to see Orchestre Métropolitain perform their season-closing concert: Adventure Awaits. While it marks the end of the season — and Yannick Nézet-Séguin's 25th year as artistic director — it is also the starting point of a European tour that will take the orchestra to the most prestigious venues across the continent: Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Hamburg, and more. But before they depart, you can see them right here in Montréal.
4. Listen to fantastic French music.
Summertime in Montréal is festival time. And one of the city’s most iconic festivals is Francos de Montréal, a fabulous French-language music event featuring performers from around the globe. Prepare to groove. Until June 21.
5. Enjoy a rooftop patio.
Summer is nearly here. What better way to mark the occasion than a gorgeous rooftop terrace? Sample the products of Montréal’s talented mixologists and culinary experts in the company of colleagues, friends, or family — all with stunning views of the city.
