Montreal’s Crescent Street comes alive with sounds of the Grand Prix

One of the first major signs that summer is around the corner and a return to normal is here, this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix – and it all starts today!

Montreal Formula 1 fans will be flocking to the Crescent street festival, for decades one of the premier destination during GP weekend.

Ever since 1999, the three-day festival (June 16-18) transforms the street into a free venue for race aficionados, tourists and local fans to celebrate the biggest race in Canada. There’s something for everyone.

Every night, live performances on the main stage by top Canadian bands.

The stage also draws crowds with driver appearances, autograph sessions and DJs mixing all day long.

Race fans have the opportunity to see real racing cars up close and visit a variety of booths featuring racing simulators and the world of F1.

The fun reaches fever pitch on Saturday night at 9 pm with a high-energy performance by the Freddie James Project on the Corona Stage.
