12+ Montreal Bars Will Be Open & Serving Drinks Until 6 a.m. One Night This Weekend
It's a big festival for students! 🥳
Rue Saint-Denis in Montreal's Quartier Latin. Right: Student Block Party in 2019.
The start of the school year doesn't have to be a bummer. La Grande Rentrée is taking over Montreal's Quartier Latin from September 8 to 10 so students can have one final wild time before getting down to business.
You can expect three evenings of fun and free-to-attend activities, including music shows, dance performances, outdoor film screenings, theatrical improvisations and an art exhibition.
The event will kick off at 6 p.m. on September 8, starting with a big party at the Jardins Gamelin alongside guest DJs Ian Jackman, Shaydakiss and Karaba.
