Merry Montreal has been the focal point of the new years eve party in Montreal for several years now, and usually takes place at the Place Jacques-Cartier, with the outdoor stage set up on the pier. The event actually runs from the 14th December right through until new years eve, and includes a Christmas market and a wide range of festive celebrations leading up to the huge new year party.

This free event normally includes live music throughout the evening, seasonal illuminations, and of course a countdown to midnight, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display over the city skyline.

The port of Montreal lies between the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers and at one end of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, which reaches from the Great Lakes into the Atlantic Ocean, and the areas along these waterways provide ideal viewing points for watching the midnight fireworks displays across the city skyline.
