Montreal Cultural Calendar

Sing your favourite tunes for an enthusiastic crowd.

Karaoke Night in Les Jardins Gamelin is a hugely popular marquee event. The proof: the one year it didn’t take place, there was a petition to bring it back! It’s the perfect setting to share your favourite tunes with an energetic crowd and take your turn belting it out yourself after others take the stage. Above all, don’t be shy, just go for it – because Karaoke Night is 100% inclusive fun!

Bold performances, from drag queens to street dance, comedy and circus acts.

It’s the middle of the week, you’re casually strolling out of Berri-UQÀM metro and there’s a street dance battle or a drag queen performance right in front of you: welcome to Jardins en cabaret! From comedy to circus, contemporary dance to line dancing, improv to variety acts, experience daring and vibrant multidisciplinary shows that will make you forget your daily routine, all in a relaxed and uninhibited setting. New this season: Jardins en cabaret now takes place EVERY Tuesday from May to September!

Maxime Gervais est un humoriste, acteur, musicien et podcasteur actif depuis 2003. Le membre fondateur des Pic-Bois se distingue par son humour absurde et ses personnages marquants. Créateur du personnage culte Claude Crest, il brille sur scène, mais aussi à la télévision, dont récemment dans la série Kamikazes! (Télé-Québec). Lauréat du prix Album punk aux GAMIQ 2021 pour, Une nouvelle forme de joie, il brûle les planches avec ses compositions musicales tout en poursuivant sa tournée BIG MAX, un premier spectacle solo qui terminera à l'été 2025. À la fois rassembleur et décalé à souhait, Maxime s’impose comme une figure incontournable de l’humour off-road québécois. Retrouvez-le bientôt en rodage de son prochain one-man show, encore plus grandiose et déglingué, à la fin 2025.

Exeko propose une série d’ateliers ouverts à tous et toutes, invitant à se rencontrer, créer et réfléchir ensemble. Ces activités prennent place au cœur d’un espace vivant et pluriel, en dialogue avec les jardins et les initiatives de verdissement du site.<br />

À travers différents médiums artistiques tels que la poterie, la teinture végétale et l’artisanat, utilisez des éléments de la nature urbaine pour confectionner des œuvres variées. Ces ateliers sont aussi une invitation à éveiller les sens au rythme des jardins. Le tout dans une ambiance apaisante et décontractée, faites une immersion sensorielle et créative au cœur de la ville.
