This summer downtown Montreal has everything on the go with more large-scale projects than ever. Les aventures du cœur de l’île, a summer initiative produced by the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership and Montréal centre-ville in collaboration with Tourisme Montréal, is designed to revitalize Montreal’s core with activities and outdoor installations.
From Atwater to Papineau and from Sherbrooke to the Saint Lawrence River, a dozen welcoming Oases created by local designers, 317 performances and 531 multidisciplinary artists, four themed weekends, an original dance creation, a large-scale collective art project, a walking route close to 15-km long, green spaces and colourful interactive installations on numerous pedestrian streets await you. While following public health guidelines, a whole menu of diverse activities for one and all will roll out over the summer months like a crescendo.
Summary of aventures du cœur de l'île
The aventures du cœur de l'île brought Montrealers together and enlivened the downtown core with cultural events, welcoming Oases, urban design on pedestrian streets, special projects and a signature moment. These great initiatives allowed the public to participate in the revival of Montreal and to enjoy the wonders of the island under the open sky from June 4 to October 3, 2021.
Many thanks to the artists, creators and partners for their participation and to the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec for their support. It was magical to see our festive, creative and united Montreal under the summer sun! Thank you all for coming!
