- May 29, 2011
Montreal is a fantastic city.But there’s no Montreal like a summer Montreal. We have festivals coming out the wazoo. We have festivals just for the sake of having festivals. You see we are inside and cold for half of the year, if not more. So when summer comes, we go coocoo. All we want is to be in the sunshine, at any cost.
Well here’s a great festival coming up!
You can find a little bit of everything. Comedy, dansing, theater, acrobatics…
It is essentially the block party of the year. Every year. For one and all!
From May 30th to June 19th, the plateau is being taking over by over 500 artist all ready to perform there hearts out for you. What sets the Fringe festival apart from the others is the fact they do not censor you or give you an artistic direction.
It is open to all the public and to all artists. No limits, no restrictions.
