Montreal is the host of the Canadian Grand Prix, and what better place in Canada than our beloved city? There is an endless list of activities and events for locals and tourists to attend on any week of the year.

Weekend-Long
Not to be missed is the Peel Paddock, a street festival just for the Canadian Grand Prix. The Peel Paddock is sponsored by Belvedere and Moët and usually has a theme. In the past, the street has been covered in sand, and another year it was covered in turf grass and parasols. What will the theme be this year? Peel Street is closed between Ste. Catherine and de Maisonneuve from noon to midnight June 5th to June 8th. For more Grand Prix street festivals, click here.
