In March, Montréal begins to change from winter to spring, so there’s still time for ice skating and winter food-and-fun festivals like MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE and the spring actions, the city’s immense St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and sugar hovel season occasion Cabane Panache. See the city sights by day and night; grab new worldwide films at film festivals, experience world-class theatre and dance performances, modern art and immersive VR, opus orchestras and rock shows, and much more this month in Montréal. In Old Montréal, walk the cobbled streets to the Saint-Lawrence River and stopover the serenely illuminated square outside Notre-Dame Basilica – indoor, see stunning multimedia show AURA. In the Old Port of Montréal, you can see implausible city and river views from the Observation Wheel and boost up your adrenaline whilst viewing a far-fetched view on the MTL Zip line, reopening for the season in March.
And you can’t miss the wintery vision of the Old Port of Montréal ice skating rink, where you can rent skates and slither next to the Saint Lawrence River beneath twinkling lights. Close by, travel around the Montréal Science Centre: see new interactive exposition Dinosaurs Around the World, with 20 life-sized dinosaurs that move and create sounds, plus other hands-on activities and exhibitions. And the Festival Montréal Joue! Invites the kids to play games at libraries around the city. Discover the city with our expert guides on Montréal tours, set your own program with personal walking tours, and take a free walking visit of the Quartier des spectacles too. MURAL Festival might be over, but you can still observe murals from this year and years past on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and throughout the Plateau, and Old Montréal – come across the murals and perceive sound more about the artists on a street art tour with Spade & Palacio.
