L’Art en soi Festival
Over the course of several days on the Place des Arts Esplanade, the L'Art en soi Festival—formerly known as Hors les murs—features evenings of dancing that introduce Montrealers to various dance styles, joined by professional dancers and musicians. Also, during the lunch hour, citizens get a chance to boost their energy levels with various singing or dance workshops. On weekends, Fêtes famille events give the younger crowd an opportunity to explore the performing arts through various activities for the whole family.
