All Montreal cultural events cancelled until July

Following recent announcements that the jazz fest and Francos festivals are cancelled for this summer (with Just for Laughs moving from July to late September), Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante confirmed today that all Montreal cultural events will be cancelled until July 2 due to the ongoing COVID-19 threat.

Montréal has cancelled all cultural and sporting events on its territory until July 2, in order to limit public gatherings. It is a difficult decision because Montreal is a known destination for world class events and festivals. And we will be there to support our partners.

That deadline still leaves the possibility that some Montreal festivals like Osheaga and Fantasia may be able to take place. Stay tuned for more info.
