LASSO Montreal returns August 15–16, 2025, bringing tens of thousands of plaid-shirted, boot-stomping fans to Parc Jean-Drapeau for a weekend of country music, Southern-inspired eats, and sunset singalongs. What started as a surprising experiment by evenko has quickly become one of the city’s fastest-growing festivals—helped along by the cowboy-core fashion wave, a few viral songs, and Quebec’s not-so-secret love of country.
Whether you’re a first-timer still figuring out what LASSO even is, or a seasoned cowpoke with a festival chair already strapped to your back, this guide has you covered—from bag policies to the best boots to wear, how to get there, what to eat, and why Montrealers are suddenly obsessed with all things Nashville.
