EC Montreal already has an action packed social events calendar for the month of June! There are so many things happening around the city!
The month of June is an exciting time of year to be in Montreal! It is the start of so many outdoor festivals and events!
One festival that is growing in popularity is the Montreal Folk Festival on the Canal. The festival includes live music, food and dancing! It is a family-friendly festival that offers a full weekend of free shows set along the beautiful Lachine Canal.
The festival features folk music, country-folk, high-energy alternative-folk, soulful indie-folk, roots, bluegrass and much more from Canadian and International musicians.
The festival is taking place from June 13 to June 16, 2019.
There will be three outdoor stages and plenty of room for picnicking and hanging out. There will be a selection of food trucks on site serving a variety of meals, locally brewed beer and more. There will even be an artisanal market showcasing the creations of local artists.
We will be encouraging our EC Montreal students to check out this very unique festival. Many of our EC Montreal homestays live in the borough of Verdun, so they can take a stroll after dinner or on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to check out the festivities with their homestay hosts.
Montreal hosts over 120 festivals a year! This is one of the many reasons why Montreal should be your number one choice when choosing a destination to learn English or French! The city acts as our playground, especially during the summer months. It feels like the entire city is having a party and the world is invited!
