Montreal Gay Village: A Montreal Neighborhood Guide

Having pedestrianized the Gay Village portion of Ste. Catherine Street to make way for special events in the past, the Gay Village is not new to the car-free scene. However, 2008 marked the first year the Montreal Gay Village closed off the main neighborhood and commercial artery for an entire season.

In 2009, Ste. Catherine Street East, from Berri to Papineau, will be closed to car traffic from May 28 to September 8.

Ste. Catherine Street will also be host to events including live storytelling, music and busking of all sorts.
