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: Electronic music festivals light up the Old Port while hockey fans pack the Bell Centre, immersive art installations at PHI and the MMFA challenge how we see the world, and stages across the city host everything from Wu-Tang legends to Middle-earth epics performed by 250 musicians.
This guide is your companion to the best of Montreal in January: Whether you're here for frozen raves and indie rock, wrestling spectacles and cinematic experiences, or art that forces you to feel what connects us—these hand-picked events capture the essence of a city that truly knows how to embrace winter.
