Since June 16, the Quartier Latin is turning into a summer hotspot! 🌞

Saint-Denis Street (between Sherbrooke and Sainte-Catherine) and Émery Street (between Saint-Denis and Sanguinet) are now a colorful, lively, and super welcoming pedestrian zone. Until September 14, it’s the perfect time to head out, wander around, soak it all in… and most importantly, enjoy the terraces!

Avē l’été brings tons of free activities for every taste:

🤹‍♀️ From July 3 to 13, Montréal Complètement Cirque takes over with jaw-dropping acrobatics

5 spots, 5 vibes

The pedestrian path features five themed spaces, each with its own personality:

Place Festivus – perfect for catching a pop-up performance
Place Recto Verso – calm and shady, ideal for reading or relaxing
Place Epicus! – for all the movie lovers out there
Place Spectaculum – where street shows come alive
Place Populi – a space to connect, chat, and create together

Avē l’été is summer in the open air, right in the heart of Montréal. Come experience the Quartier Latin in a whole new way — walk, dance, eat, chill. And don’t forget to hit up the patios… they’re waiting for you!

Special thanks to the Ville-Marie Borough and the City of Montréal for their financial support of the Avē l’été project.
