La Classique Vague à Guy

Every year in late September, La Vague à Guy, the iconic river-surfing site in Montréal’s LaSalle borough, hosts a festive day dedicated to Québec’s one-of-a-kind river surf scene. Free and open to everyone, the event brings together the Montreal surf community for a welcoming day of competition, upbeat music from local artists and an exhibitor village. Food vendors and a bar keep visitors fuelled throughout the day. Spectators can follow the action from the stands or on the big screen, while a live YouTube broadcast makes it easy to catch every ride. It’s a unique way to experience Montréal, shaped by the rhythm of its wave.
