Uptown, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (View from the St. Lawrence river looking towords Montreal Mountain or NW.) This is a gorgeous site at night from the Jacques Cartier or Victoria bridges. Longueuil to Montreal Island East and Central respectivel.
The old and the modern architecture of Montreal and night lighting is outstanding and you'll need a camera. This is an urban photographers paradise.

Fireworks during the Montreal International Fireworks Competition. A star feature of Montreal usually Mid June to end of July.
The Champlain Bridge, Montreal ( Montreal Island and routes West) has reduced traffic as it's always under repair now. I recommend avoiding it.
Montreal isn't just about great food and an interesting history and culture. Montreal ROCKS when it comes to comedy.
It's the Major City of Festivals and Special Attractions. Almost every week it's a new festival and it all combines to certainly make this great city one of the very finest to visit in North America.
Every summer one or more weeks is devoted to a comedy festival. The comedy festival in Montreal is adored by residents and tourists. It attracts almost two million spectators every year and fun is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone even if your the most serious person you'll lighten up and roar with laughter.
Some of the material (ie pranks) will make you nearly choke you'll laugh so hard. What's better than good comedy and a real belly laugh !?
The Comedy Festival just like the Jazz Festival and Fireworks Festival features FREE Outdoor Events in 2014.
A slew of outdoor events: live comedy, circus arts (with clowns and acrobats, sideshow antics, peeps on stilts, street dancing and more). Any Saturday spent in uptown Montreal (Just find the Super Sex Dance Bar) and your right in the middle of it. As long as you don't go indoors
. You'll experience many street acts all free except for what you may deeman adequate donation. It's a blast of FREE entertainment and the best looking ladies on the planet as Montreal is very cosmopolitan. There's a place where you can drink beer on the terrace for $2.75 a bottle...or cost plus a loonie. This bar is called:Les Foufounes Électriques...

Usually each weekend of the festival at Place des Festivals on St. Catherines street or the best main street of any city in Canada. Organizers go all out by extending the free outdoor festivities from the usual couple of weekends. In 2013, outdoor street events ran the duration of the entire festival. Expect the same for the 2014 edition.
