2. Montreal Christmas Village
The Montreal Christmas Village is an event that happens every year in the middle of Old Montreal. The dazzling lights strung up around the village may be the most famous thing about the Montreal Christmas Village. It transforms the city into a magical winter wonderland. There's also the festive Christmas market, where more than 50 vendors sell traditional holiday gifts and crafts. The village has several holiday activities and events, such as live music, the singing of Christmas carols, and a parade for Santa Claus.
The best way to get to the Christmas village is by bus or train. The festival is open from late November to the end of December. You don't have to pay anything to get into the village or to look around.
The village is most magical at night when everyone is out and all the lights are on. You can easily spend two to three hours here walking around the chalets, trying holiday treats, and taking in the sights and sounds of the season. The village is popular with both locals and visitors, so be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends.
