Super week-ends at Park Jean Drapeau

If you like world music and dancing, Park Jean Drapeau is the place to be.

On July 6th, 7th, 13th and 14th there are all kinds of fun activities going on at Park Jean Drapeau. There,s  a show of fire eaters, there are festivals such as the gospel festival, the Peruvian festival, the Cuban festival and the Colombian festival, also there is world music with many professional dancers and singers; the list goes on an on. Here is the official link to the Jean Drapeau website.

The idea of these festivities is to showcase the different cultural groups  of Montreal and display their traditions. As opposed to many other metropolises which are considered melting pots, Montreal is a cultural mosaic, where the differences of culture are highlighted  and celebrated.

If you're staying in Montreal during the above mentioned dates,  I suggest that you take advantage of this great opportunity; it is completely free and it's worth your time. Write me a message if you did like it.
