L’International des Feux Loto-Québec 2023
L’International des Feux Loto-Québec, also known as the Montreal Fireworks Festival, is the largest and most prestigious fireworks competition in the world. It has been held yearly in La Ronde over the Dolphins lake, since 1985. Note, this event takes place each Wed and Sun from the 29th of June to the 10th of August.
- Visiting Montreal? Le Square Phillips Hôtel & Suites, is a 4 star hotel rated “Superb” by guests and offering great rates, spacious rooms and a pool. It is located close to the gay village and the firework displays.
Where to watch the fireworks?
Countries from around the world compete to be crowned champions of the International Fireworks Competition in Montreal each year. This jaw-dropping competition between international pyrotechnicians transforms Montréal’s skies.
- The fireworks are launched from inside Six Flags amusement park La Ronde (situated on Île Sainte-Hélène across from the historic Old Port of Montréal) and explode over the St. Lawrence River right beside the spectacular Jacques-Cartier Bridge.
- On the Wednesday and Saturday evenings, the Jacques Cartier Bridge turns pedestrian, making it a great spot for a landmark view of the pyrotechnics. The competition marries music to the ancient fiery art of fireworks, in a percussive, “pyromusical” display that can be seen and heard right across the city.
- To hear the explosions timed to musical crescendos, the grandstands at La Ronde amusement park are the best bet. You’ll need tickets, but they’ll get you admission to the rest of the park, too. Here are the hotels that are located closest to the park
