Montreal International Fireworks Competition
In La Ronde amusement park (in Parc Jean-Drapeau). This fantastic festival features full-length fireworks displays, accompanied by orchestral music, by national teams from about a dozen countries around the world. Although the hot seats are inside the La Ronde theme park, the fireworks are visible from pretty much any clear space or rooftop in the centre of the city. Pedestrians can watch from Jacques Cartier Bridge, which is closed from 20:00 on fireworks nights. Another good spot is the promenade west of the Old Port. $35–45 (seats in La Ronde, free everywhere else). Saturdays 22:00 from mid-June to late July, and Wednesdays 22:00 from mid-July on.

About Montreal
City overview
Montreal sits on the Island of Montreal beside the St Lawrence River and Mount Royal, with Vieux-Montreal, Plateau Mont-Royal, Mile End, Outremont, Le Village, Little Italy, and Quartier des Spectacles linking French-speaking street life, festivals, food counters, churches, markets, parks, and metro stations. The city works best when Notre-Dame Basilica, Old Port, Mont Royal, Schwartz's Deli, Jean-Talon Market, and Place des Arts are treated as neighborhood anchors.
Food & drink
Montreal food is Jewish deli, Quebecois comfort, and market-driven: St-Viateur and Fairmount bagels are boiled in honeyed water and baked in wood-fired ovens, smoked meat stacks peppery brisket on rye, poutine covers fries with curds and gravy, and tourtiere wraps spiced meat in pie crust. Jean-Talon Market, Atwater Market, Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Mile End bakeries, Schwartz's, La Banquise, and Little Italy add sugar pie, maple taffy, Portuguese chicken, steame hot dogs, and Quebec cheeses.
