What's Happening in Montréal This Weekend: October 23 to 25
John Summit and Aya Nakamura at the Bell Centre, Gareth Emery at New City Gas, Halloween under the lights, and ramen across town. How to move through Montréal's biggest weekend of October without the curbside scramble.
Montréal heads into the last weekend of October with a full schedule: arena headliners, Halloween installations across the parks, and late-night visual sets in Griffintown.
Here is where the city is moving, and how to get there cleanly.
The big stages: Bell Centre and Griffintown
- John Summit (CTRL ESCAPE Arena Tour): Friday, October 23, 7:00 PM at the Bell Centre. Event calendar and tickets
- Aya Nakamura: Saturday, October 24, 8:00 PM at the Bell Centre. One of the biggest pop and Afrobeats nights of the season. Event calendar and tickets
- Gareth Emery (LSR/CITY): Saturday, October 24 at New City Gas. Synchronized lasers and heavy visuals in Griffintown. Tickets and lineup
- Smaller rooms: Allison Russell at Théâtre Beanfield on Friday, Biga*Ranx at MTELUS and Jonathan Van Ness at L'Olympia on Saturday.
When twenty thousand people leave the Bell Centre at 11:00 PM in 4°C weather, refreshing an app for a surge-priced ride is the wrong ending to a great show. With WHEELMAN, your driver waits nearby in the all-electric Lexus RZ 450e, ready when you are.
Halloween and light
- Festilumi Montréal: Saturday evening at Marché Central. Thirteen illuminated worlds with a Halloween twist. Tickets and hours
- Lune Noire: Friday to Sunday at the Floralies Gardens, Parc Jean-Drapeau. Free stroll through the decorated gardens, with paid pontoon experiences. Schedule and pontoon booking
- Roller Dance Halloween: Sunday, October 25 at the SAT on Saint-Laurent. Costume roller party with DJ Fly Lady Di. Sessions and skate rentals
Parc Jean-Drapeau is beautiful in late October. Getting back across the river on a Sunday night takes patience. A scheduled pickup takes care of it.
