Igloofest
Recommended by 7 of 7 guides read.
An outdoor electronic music festival held in the cold, in Old Montréal. Igloofest’s page prints the 2027 edition as 14 January to 6 February in its header and 15 January to 7 February in its line-up section, with weekend blocks starting on 14, 21 and 28 January and 4 February. The dates differ by a day, so check the final ones before you buy a ticket. General admission starts at $49 plus tax and the VIP Terrace at $99 plus tax. The Igloopass for 12 events shows as sold out, and no opening hours are printed. See Old Montréal and the Old Port.
Montréal en Lumière
Recommended by 7 of 7 guides read.
The city’s biggest winter festival runs 18 to 28 February 2027, according to the festival’s site. Guides describe it as a mix of food, music and arts with free outdoor activity downtown. The 2027 program isn’t on the page yet, so check it nearer the date. See downtown and the Quartier des spectacles.
Nuit blanche
Recommended by 4 of 7 guides read.
Four guides single out the all-night arts evening that belongs to Montréal en Lumière. No 2027 date has been found on the festival’s page, so it’s left out here until the organiser publishes one.
Fête des neiges
Recommended by 4 of 7 guides read.
The family winter festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau is named by four guides. The park’s site couldn’t be read (it returned an error), and no 2027 dates were found, so none are given.
Lumino
Recommended by 4 of 7 guides read.
Lumino is the light installation trail along Sainte-Catherine Street West in the Quartier des spectacles and downtown. Place des Arts’ page still shows the 2025 to 2026 run (27 November 2025 to 8 March 2026) and no 2027 dates, so check it for the next edition.
Less common picks
Poutine Week, the WinterWorks theatre festival, the AURA light show at Notre-Dame Basilica and the ice canoe challenge are each named by only two guides. They’re worth a look on their organisers’ pages if you’re in town.
How to plan it
- Book Igloofest early. The 12-event pass is already sold out.
- Check the Igloofest dates. The organiser’s page prints two sets for the same edition.
For the rest of the winter, see events in February, events in January and the map. If you’re choosing a base, where to stay in Montréal compares the areas.
