All the FREE things to do at Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival in Montreal

The Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival returns to Montreal this week.

A popular event for locals and tourists alike since 1999, the downtown bash will once again extend its celebrations over four days this year. Starting Thursday, dozens of kiosks with free merchandise and F1-themed activities will be spread along de Maisonneuve Boulevard, from Bishop Street to de la Montagne Street.

The best part? As always, the festival is completely free.

From June 6 to 9, great Canadian acts will take over the main stage, accompanied by interactive kiosks, restaurants, and DJs spinning music throughout the day. Additionally, racing simulators, racecar displays, and the pit stop challenge will provide interactive experiences for enthusiasts and casual F1 fans alike.
