If you live in Montreal or you plan on making your way over here for New Year’s Eve, you’ll be sitting pretty because it’s one of top New Year’s Eve party destinations in the world.
Apart from the massive, free party taking place in the Old Port and with so much going on in the city, we thought it might be wise to steer you in the right direction.
Keep in mind that you won’t be the only one pulling an all-nighter on the last day of 2019 as the metros will stay open all night, making it easier (and cheaper) for you to hop from bash to bash.
