Every June, the eyes of the racing world turn to Montréal — not just for the Formula 1 action, but for the electric energy the Canadian Grand Prix injects into the entire city.

🏁 Formula 1, Festival Style

From June 6–8, 2025, Montréal becomes the center of the motorsport universe as Circuit Gilles Villeneuve hosts the Canadian Grand Prix — one of the most scenic and fan-friendly races on the F1 calendar.

But unlike other host cities, Montréal doesn’t stop at race day.

The city turns into one giant celebration — with F1 parties in Old Montreal, celebrity-packed pop-ups, and luxury takeovers at hotspots like Hôtel William Gray, Boulevard Saint-Laurent, and Peel Street.


🍽️ Rooftops, Races & Rosé

Whether you’re trackside or skipping the paddock entirely, Montréal serves up a weekend of unforgettable energy:

  • Pre-race brunches in Little Burgundy

  • VIP terraces overlooking the downtown skyline

  • After-dark fêtes at places like Auberge Saint-Gabriel and Flyjin

Even if you’re not an F1 fanatic, the city’s Grand Prix weekend is a lifestyle event unto itself.


🌆 Summer in the City: Why This Week?

Beyond the race, early June is when Montréal shines:

  • Mild temperatures perfect for strolling along the Old Port

  • Open-air markets and patios come alive

  • Street performers, art exhibits, and jazz fill the air

It’s that rare time when urban culture, European charm, and international glam all collide.


✨ Jet Set Tip:

No tickets? No problem.
Enjoy the vibe by reserving at race-themed lounges or luxury rooftop events — and book early. The whole city runs on Grand Prix time.
