Address
The Esplanade of the Olympic Park is hopping all year long with a diverse program for all ages: from sporting events to concerts to Latin dance classes and more, this pop culture hotspot is inclusive, festive and accessible to everyone.
Once the site of the ’76 Olympic medal ceremonies, this massive outdoor space is ideally suited to host events of all sizes. What’s more, it is easily accessible by bike, public transport and car.
The Esplanade’s programming focuses on sport, physical activity, sustainable development and culture, featuring varied events that attract crowds of people who come to have a good time and party.
Come summer, this outdoor playground is alive with Les Jardineries, a popular community-happening, with games, activities and shows for all; the First Fridays street food gathering for curious gourmets; the Fiesta Olympica to dance summer Sundays away, and even an open-air concert by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. To this, add adrenaline-filled events such as the Jackalope extreme sports fest and the Vans skateboard competition. Skateboard enthusiasts can practice to their hearts' content at the new, permanent world-class skatepark!
Come wintertime, a magical village appears, complete with outdoor ice rink, entertainment and activities until the snow melts, not to forget the thrilling Barbegazi Winter Action Sports Festival.
