The blog of the Quartier des Spectacles is a window on the people and places that make Montreal’s cultural heart beat. From festivals to performance venues, from restaurants to avant-garde art. Every week, you’re invited to discover the city’s liveliest square kilometre!
Nuits d’Afrique has been on since July 8, with free outdoor shows and activities since July 16. For the next four days, the festival’s hub will be the Quartier des Spectacles Parterre, just steps away from Saint-Laurent metro station.
For a fifth year, acrobats, clowns and other circus performers will take over the city with the Montréal complètement cirque festival. The Quartier des Spectacles, especially Place Émilie-Gamelin and the Quartier Latin, is one of the festival’s hubs.
