The month-long L’International des Feux Loto-Québec, held in July, is the largest fireworks competition in the world.
Pyrotechnic companies from all over will fire their best rockets, cakes and candles, all choreographed to music, in a bid to win the coveted Gold Jupiter trophy.
You can join around three million spectators in the best vantage points (ticket fee applies), or, for free viewing, it’s just as easy to find a patch of grass (try Mount Royal Park) or a spot along the Saint Lawrence River.
