Montreal International Fireworks

We will be in Montreal when it's Portugal's turn. Would the port in Vieux Montreal be a decent enough vantage point to see? Trying to not be right there on the island or nearby bridge.

TX in advance.

Hi travelpair,

There are plenty of good vantage points in Old Montreal. Try to stand/sit next to someone who has brought their radio so that you'll get the music as well.

I always watch them from the Old Port as I don't like the idea of the bridge and find that the Old Port is a nice area to enjoy the show.

Have fun!!

Hi Dukey,

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. If I click on the link I get the main page (in English), and then if I click on a country (ie, the U.S.) it brings up the page with that country's information (date, pyrotechnic company, how to purchase tickets if desired, etc).
