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!

Queer Line Dancing! <br />
<br />
SPURS combines traditional steps with a range of music—from honky-tonk to new country to contemporary pop. Based in the history of LGBTQ+ country and western dancing, SPURS hosts regular events in Montreal and Toronto.<br />
