Montreal Canada Day 2012 Festivities: Fun at the Old Port Returns in 2012
Montreal's Canada Day -- fête du Canada in French -- would not be Canada Day without its parade, Old Port activities and the customary mega-cake. But every year has a little something different to offer.

On July 1st, 2012, Montreal Canada Day organizers in charge of Old Port activities promise an assortment of freebies perfect for families (and non-families too), from 11 a.m. to midnight.

MONTREAL CANADA DAY 2012 HIGHLIGHTS COMING SOON! BELOW ARE FEATURES FROM PREVIOUS EDITIONS.

  • skateboarding demos;
  • Canada Day cake;
  • line dancing;
  • a yogafest;
  • inflatable games for kids; and
  • fireworks at 10:30 p.m.
All of the above activities are held at the Old Port, just get off at Place d'Armes Metro and follow the crowd. For a full schedule of activities, call (514) 866-9164 or consult the Célafête website or the Quays of the Old Port website.
