St. Jean Baptiste day is almost here! In order to plan out what is sure to be one of the best days of the summer, it’s essential to know what’s open and what’s closed in Montreal.
For instance, celebrating Quebec’s biggest day without the right accessories wouldn’t be fun right? So if you’re planning on attending Le Grand Spectacle or the annual St. Jean Baptiste Day parade, it’s probably best to make a quick pit stop at a Dollarama on your way home from work on the 23rd.
