This is under parks, because there is a great one just off of the Casino there. However this park is bustling all summer long with festivals, including Osheaga, which brings some of the world's top music stars to the stage for the August 1st weekend, and the Formula 1 grand prix. Also home to our amusement park, La ronde, and several intercultural festivals and concerts.
