Street Art – Montreal For 91 Days

Montreal’s Mural Festival

Street art is a phenomenon which hip cities long ago stopped trying to fight, and started to embrace. When it's well-done, street art can beautify otherwise drab buildings, provoke thought, and even drive tourism. If you've ever wondered how the artists manage to make use of their building-sized canvases, you should check out Montreal's Mural Festival, where you can see them at work.

Boulevard Saint Laurent, aka “The Main”

Cutting straight across the Island of Montreal, Boulevard Saint Laurent is considered to be the dividing line between the city's French-speaking half on the east, and the English half to the west. Known colloquially as "The Main," the neighborhoods which line themselves along the boulevard, from north to south, are home to various populations of immigrants.
