There's magic in the air and the jingle bells are ringing — wait a minute. It's not Christmas, so what's going on? You're not hallucinating, you're just in Blainville on Montreal's North Shore, taking in the town's Christmas in July celebrations.

This amazing free activity near Montreal is just a short drive away, and it's taking place on select dates over the next two weeks.

During your visit, you'll cross into an illuminated tunnel that'll transport you to a Christmas playground complete with elves, lit-up trees, and other giant decorations including a 25-foot-tall Christmas tree.

There is also a traditional Christmas market, so you can buy your gifts early. VERY early.

Blainville residents have even decorated their homes with Christmas lights to really immerse visitors in the Christmas spirit.

The site is open by reservation only during three time slots: 8:30 p.m., 9:15 p.m. or 10 p.m. You will have 45 minutes to stroll the area and take in all the wonderful sights.
