Beach, nature, food… 3 not-to-be-missed events at Parc Jean-Drapeau

Located just a few minutes from downtown Montréal and easily accessible by metro or bike, this iconic site becomes a giant summer playground, where nature, festivities and good food meet.  Here’s a sneak peek at the fun stuff you can look forward to this summer!

Parasol Parté, for a great beach party!

On July 26 and 27, 2025, Jean-Doré Beach comes alive for Parasol Parté, a fun-filled event where swimming and great beats unite under the sun. Bring the whole family or a group of friends to take part in the volleyball tournament, enjoy SUP yoga and dance with your feet in the sand while listening to a live performance by DJ Tallandskiinny.

With a wide variety of activities open to all, the atmosphere promises to be electrifying! What’s more, access is included with a ticket to the beach.

Mosaïcultures, between living art and tributes to nature

Parc Jean-Drapeau is now home to three magnificent Mosaïcultures, including the famous Mother Earth. Nestled in the heart of the Floralies Garden, these plant sculptures, composed of hundreds of thousands of plants, create a harmonious, artistic and inspiring journey. Monumental yet gentle, they invite contemplation and reflection on our relationship with nature and the importance of its balance.

Access is free, and the ideal time to enjoy them is from now until early September—a great opportunity to rediscover the park from a new angle!

Les Rendez-vous gourmands, taste and celebrate!

On August 22, 23 and 24, 2025, the Floralies Garden will be transformed into an outdoor banquet for Les Rendez-vous gourmands, a warm and deliciously Montreal-style celebration.

Renowned chefs will be there to offer an open-air culinary experience, in tune with the summer harvest and in the spirit of a welcoming barbecue. Local produce tastings, food trucks, cooking workshops, live music and roaming entertainment will all be part of this enchanting and festive event that promises to delight your taste buds!
