    Sounds great - would you have to book hotels far in advance? Due to crowds and the like?

    Yes nice post! But for my taste, the most fun are in Montreal, and missing!

    The fireworks festival is a worlwide festival, awesome! Free shows, drinks and great people

    The Jazz festival is also one of the best in the world!

    The comedy festival hosts the funniest people in the world (both french and english). I've seen Seinfeld and other major comedians there

    During summer, there are always great stuff going on in the most fun city of Canada, Montreal!

    Enjoy!
