Montréal's big events in 2027 and how to get around them

Montréal's busiest 2027 dates are Igloofest (January 14 – February 6), Montréal en Lumière (February 18–28), the Grand Prix (May 21–23), the Jazz Festival (June 25 – July 4) and Osheaga (July 30 – August 1). On those dates, hotels, restaurants and cars book out and streets close around the sites, so plan rides early and expect the metro to be the fastest way to the venue itself.

• Book airport rides as soon as your flights are set; the days before and after big events are the busiest.

• Agree on a pickup spot a block or two from the crowd, not at the main gate.
