The Monsoon Festival is back on June 24th! ☀️☔️
Organized by Brique par Brique, this free, family-friendly festival celebrates the talent and creativity in Parc-Extension — one of Canada’s most culturally diverse neighborhoods.
Join us for the second edition at Parc Dickie-Moore and our cultural center, right in the heart of Parc-Ex. From 12 to 8PM, the park will come alive with music, live performances, food stalls, artisanal vendors, interactive activities, film screenings, and so much more.
This intergenerational event brings together residents of all backgrounds for a day of art, culture, and connection. It’s a celebration of diversity, inclusion, and the joy of living together — rain or shine!
Come through, bring your family and friends, and be part of something special on Saint-Jean-Baptiste.🌈🎶
