Montreal Highlights, which will be held from February 29 to March 10, has revealed the outdoor activities – and free! – from his 25e edition at the Quartier des spectacles. Between gastronomic discoveries and winter games, the popular festival also offers a varied musical offering.
Several DJs will meet at the Rogers DJ Station to add to the festival-goers’ experience at the CeraVe Skating Trail and at Place des Festivals.

The event will be launched on February 29 with the multi-genre evening, a beautiful mix of the most popular songs of the moment.
At Nuit blanche, March 2, including the programming of the 21e edition will be revealed on February 8, festival-goers will be able to dance to the best of electro thanks to Cloverdale, Ghetto Birds, Pøptrt and Truwayz.
The festival also plans several thematic evenings, including the 2000 Bug Evening which will take us back in time between “eurodance, oldies and hip-hop hits from the beginning of the millennium” on 1er March; a completely country evening with TallandSkiinny on March 3, a “100% feminine” program, which will notably feature DJ LYKX, on March 8, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, etc.
DJ Lexis will have the wonderful mandate of closing the festival on March 10, which will feature jazz, funk and soul sounds.
