Watch for Free
Come down to the Old Port (Champ-de-Mars or Place d'Armes Metro) or find another choice spot in Montreal to view the best fireworks in town all year long.
Pay to See
Splurge a little and see them synchronized to music, up close with the judges at La Ronde, just in front of the Lac des Dauphins. It's a nice treat, albeit pricey for a 30-minute show so try to score tickets for a showing where you have time to take advantage of unlimited access to all La Ronde rides for the day, included in the admission price, varying from $29.96 to $56 (plus taxes).
Same Time, Rain or Shine
All shows are scheduled at 10 p.m. Motorists should be aware that for all ten presentations, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge will close at 8 p.m., only reopening at the end of each show.
