Piknic Électronik Montreal is an open-air electronic music series held on Sundays at Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Île Sainte-Hélène in Montreal, Canada. It is a relaxed, festive outing: you bring a blanket or sit on the grass, listen to electronic music from the stage, and spend the afternoon outdoors.
What to expect
- Music: The series features well-known DJs playing electronic sets across the afternoon and into the evening.
- Food and drink: Local food and drink vendors are part of the day, so you can eat and drink without leaving the park.
- Views: The setting gives you skyline views of the city, which many visitors find as memorable as the music.
- Atmosphere: The crowd is social and easygoing, well suited to a long, unhurried Sunday.
Planning your visit
The event runs on Sundays through the warmer months, and the open-air format makes the weather a factor, so check the forecast before you go. Lineups and dates change from year to year, so confirm the 2026 schedule, ticket details and any entry rules with the official sources before you plan your trip.
Parc Jean-Drapeau is also easy to combine with other things to do on the island and in the city, so a Sunday here can be the centre of a wider day out in Montreal.
