Downtown’s illuminations: an enchanting journey for visitors

All winter long, Montréal lights up with half a million twinkling lights, transforming downtown into a fairytale setting. The lights illuminate public spaces and commercial arteries, as well as key monuments including several churches and cathedrals, offering a safe and magical night-time stroll.

Signature projects include:

• Dorchester Square, Place du Canada and Mary Queen of the World Cathedral cluster
• Place Riopelle and Victoria Square cluster
• Sainte-Catherine West, Christ Church Cathedral and Phillips Square cluster
• West cluster : Cabot Square, teh Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, place Norman-Bethune

This illumination project is made possible thanks to the support of the Borough of Ville-Marie and the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie.
