No matter what, Montrealers will have fun outside, even when the weather is bitterly cold. Montreal En Lumière proves that fact each and every year, and 2016 is no exception, as citizens flocked to Quartier des Spectactles to take in all there is to do at the festival .
With so many free activities and events , including giant glow slides , a multicoloured ferris wheel , and an urban zipline , it isn't hard to see why Montrealers were so jazzed to dive into the magic that is Montreal En Lumière.
And if you didn't get a chance to head to Montreal En Lumière for its opening weekend, no doubt these photos will induce a fair amount of FOMO. Check them out below and get jazzed for the annual winter festival that runs 'til March 5th.
