The International Fireworks Competition is always a fun affair! This year the festival runs from July 1st to August 1st on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Officially it is run by Laronde and with a ticket to the amusement park on a fireworks day you can get up close and personal to the fireworks. You don't have to spend all that money to enjoy them though. At the old port is a great place to view them as well as on mount Royal. You can even enjoy them with the music by tuning into 105.7 FM.
The fireworks usually start at 10pm and last half an hour.

Orchestra and Video Games
My kids loveSuper Mario Bros. They've never played but for some reason adore them. If I let them, they could watch clips of super mario bros on youtube for hours so when I saw this family activity I knew it was perfect! Les Concerts Campbell is putting on a concert with an orchestra of 50 musicians playing themes from popular video games. It's a chance to introduce kids to classical music with something they will actually listen to. The concert is completely free and presented in Jarry park.

International Hot Air Balloon Festival- Saint Jean sur Richelieu
The International Hot Air Balloon Festival is an annual event about 30 minutes away from Montreal in St. Jean sur Richelieu. There are 115 hot air balloons, including many special shapes, major shows, and a huge site that hosts an incredible variety of animation activities. There is a fair with rides for older kids and adults as well as a designated area for toddlers. There is face painting, a petting zoo, mini putt, concerts... too many things to describe in one post. It's also a family friendly area with changing tables, breastfeeding room and stroller rentals available.
Their website is very extensive and even offers tips for families with young children.
My kids loved this festival! There was so much for them to do and see that they didn't get bored.
