    Hi all,

    Just wondering if there is usually any entertainment at the track after the race? Or if there is an area of Montreal where all the excitement is?

    I was in Austin in 2014 and made the most of the downtown after party (didn’t fancy staying at the track to watch Kid Rock), so hoping there is similar in Montreal!

    Thanks,
    Abby

    Hi Abby,

    I went to Montreal in 2013 and had a great time. There’s a street downtown called ‘Crescent’ where they had a fan festival, similar to what was in Austin in 2014. They basically take over the street with stalls and a big stage; I was able to get an autograph from David Coulthard. Also Will Buxton had his famous ‘tweetup’ in a bar about a block away. I don’t remember there being any music but it rained heavily during race weekend in 2013 (except race day) which put a bit of a dampener on it. Also I remember it was more of a Thursday-Saturday festival rather than a Friday-Sunday festival.

    Check out this link:

    You’ll find up to date information there rather than my 2013 impressions!

    Hope you have a great time!

    Hi George,

    Crescent Street certainly looks like it’s the place to be!

    Thanks for the reply!
