When it comes to the best events and things to do in Montreal during a month like January, it's no doubt a cold time. That said, even after the NYE hangovers have passed and bank accounts lick their wounds, the entertainment on offer shows that the city can still thrive around this time: Luminous installations brighten the streets to compensate for a little less sunlight, spirited nordic traditions and huge festivals keep us moving, and feasts reign supreme thanks to many of Montreal's diverse communities.
This guide is your companion to the best of Montreal in January: Whether you’re here for the cultural rhythm, the icy landscapes, or the seamless blending of both, these hand-picked events capture the essence of a city that truly knows how to embrace winter.
