New's Years Eve in Montreal 2025: Parties, dinners, and more

In a city that knows how to own the night, New Year's Eve in Montreal is a full-scale cultural event. However, if you don't know where to go, you'll be stuck toasting to the arrival of 2026 in a random dive bar and listening to people cheering elsewhere through paper thin walls.

If you're here, you want to chase champagne toasts in a Gilded Age ballroom, lose yourself on an underground techno floor until sunrise, or close out the year over a wood-fired feast that lingers long past midnight. This year's lineup spans Italian-Peruvian tasting menus, 29-hour DJ marathons, fetish masquerades in converted churches, and a free mega-party in the Old Port complete with fireworks and a Patrick Watson medley.
