Jazz, blues and classical music under the summer sky
As part of its downtown beautification and animation initiatives in preparation for the summer season, SDC Montréal centre-ville is pleased to announce that an entirely free musical program will enliven Phillips Square from July 5 to August 25. Every day at noon from Wednesday to Friday, residents, workers and visitors alike can enjoy a series of open-air musical performances by local artists that are representative of Montreal’s diversity.
This summer, Phillips Square is the place to be!
Phillips Square promises to be THE place to meet in the heart of the city, where you can lunch with live music, under the summer sky, in a magnificent environment dating back to 1842. Montréal centre-ville has set up some 40 bistro-style tables and chairs for workers, residents and families wishing to picnic, relax or enjoy the program.
“With its strategic location, its numerous surrounding businesses and rich historical heritage, Phillips Square is a must-see in downtown Montreal. We’re proud to highlight its social and cultural role with a summer setup that meets the needs of residents, workers, tourists and passers-by with vibrant programming at a time of year when it is at its busiest”, says Glenn Castanheira, General Manager of Montréal centre-ville.
