When you think of parc Jean-Drapeau, you probably think of summer days hiking, long days at the pool and even Osheaga. But the fun at the park doesn't have to end just because summer did.

Société du parc Jean-Drapeau announced its plans for the winter 2021 version of Fête des neiges de Montréal.

The program will include lots of things to help Montrealers get the most out of winter in the city, which can, despite the cold, actually be really fun.

Guests are encouraged to head over to Espace 67, where you'll find a rink an open-sliding area, where you can skate and sled the day away.

And for those into cross-country skiing, there will be two trails where you can take in the city and enjoy one of Canada's iconic winter sport.

Interested in skiing, but have never given it a try? Free lessons will be offered by Ski de fond Montréal.

Those into Fat Bike will also be able to ride the paths over île Sainte-Hélène on Mont Boullé.

All of this and more will be available from December 19, 2020, to March 7, 2021.
