Question

- WITHOUT spending a fortune

- For all ages

Answer 1

To answer your question quite honestly, Montreal is very expensive at any time regardless of your age!

Answer 2

It depends when you're heading over.

Hanging out at Mount Royal on a Sunday is good fun since tam-tam players gather and people dance. On Saturday nights until the beginning of August are the Fireworks Festival starting 10PM down at Papineau subway station (just follow the crowd from there and grab a radio and batteries to listen to the music that accompanies them).

The Old Port has plenty of activities and many street performers and Jean-Drapeau park on Sainte-Helene island makes for a good picnic. Place-des-Arts is likely to have music playing almost every day and the Just for Laughs festival is going on until mid-July so there should be many street performers there as well (www.hahaha.com for maps of that area).
