L'Internationale des Feux Loto-Québec
Saturday nights from June to August

The perfect punctuation to those city summer nights, the eye-popping fireworks displays of Montréal’s International des Feux Loto-Québec sees international teams of pyrotechnic wizards compete for the year’s best aerial spectacle. Each year also features a musical tribute, awe-inspiring fireworks timed with hit songs by the likes of ABBA (gimme, gimme, gimme!) and Elton John (no, I’m not crying, you’re crying). Join the crowds around and on Jacques-Cartier Bridge or the VIP audiences seated front row centre at La Ronde and sing along.

Thursday, July 11th, the team competing is from Austria, and Saturday, July 14th, 2024, the team competing is from Mexico. The fireworks start at 10pm, and there are plenty of great places to watch from on the South Shore, around autoroute 132 in Saint-Lambert and Longueuil.
