Montreal stood out for its numerous festivals and arts scene, earning the title of Canada's highest-scoring city for culture. This acknowledgement adds to Montreal's reputation as a vibrant cultural hub with a rich tapestry of events and artistic offerings.
"It wouldn't be a stretch to crown Montreal festival capital of the world, so packed is its cultural calendar," states Time Out.
"Montrealers named 'festivals' the city's best cultural asset, spotlighting winter light festival Montr¨¦al en Lumi¨¨re and summer's Festival International de Jazz de Montr¨¦al, which proudly holds the current world record for the world's biggest jazz fest. There's even a year-round dedicated space just for festivals at Place des Festivals, a plaza at the heart of arts district Quartier des Spectacles. Performing arts venue Place des Artes also lives in the enclave and was crowned the city's top cultural venue by locals in our survey. One thing's for sure: Montreal knows how to put on a show."
