SUMMER'S ARRIVED AND MONTREAL IS TAKING THE CELEBRATION TO THE STREETS, PARKS AND ALLEYWAYS

MONTREAL, July 14, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - This week the street performance series À nous la rue continues its magical tour through the streets of Montreal! Take a seat under the stars and get swept away by the artistic imaginations of internationally renowned performance art troupes. This week alone no less than 23 performances will be held in Montreal's streets and open spaces! Also not to be missed Saturday, July 15, at 9:30 p.m. is the presentation of Veles e Vents. Moreover, from July 18 through to the 25, the television program National d'impro will be shooting 10 special episodes in the Alfred-Laliberté Studio of UQAM – a unique and unforgettable way to join in on the celebrations! Last – but certainly not least – do not forget to take advantage of À nous la scène, with five more theatre performances presented at venues across the city. Spectators can take advantage of a variety of plays ranging from classical drama to comedy theatre, as well as lyrical, over-the-top, interactive and creative performances, and more!

Meanwhile La Grande Tournée continues its tour through the city and this weekend will be making a stop at the Eugène-Dostie Park in Île-Bizard-Ste-Geneviève, giving lovers of the city – along with their families and neighbours – the opportunity to discover the borough's charms and secrets.

PARC BELMONT 2017 : Parc Belmont mobile (Volet 2)
Ahuntsic-Cartierville residents can create their own carnival in parks around the borough with the MOBILE BELMONT PARK: a peddler's truck of yesteryear decorated with carnival colors and full of bazaar games reminiscent of Belmont Park as well as outdoor cinema equipment. Le Centre d'action bénévole Bordeaux-Cartierville will be responsible for this second installment.
