Things to do in Montréal January 27 to February 2

We’re having fun staying warm this week in Montréal, whether we’re outside on skates or contemplating Chagall in the museum, watching a hockey game or dancing all night, taking in a show or ringing in the city’s 375th anniversary.

La grande roue du @parcjeandrapeau vous attend pour admirer la superbe vue et avoir un aperçu de la multitude d’activités prévues durant la Fête des neiges. C’est chaque week-end jusqu’au 5 février prochain. #375mtl #Hivernales #Fêtedesneiges #mtlmoments

Celebrating Montréal

Winter’s all fun and games with Montréal’s 375th anniversary Les Hivernales: this weekend have fun at free and family-friendly Fête des neiges, transforming Parc Jean-Drapeau into a playground with a massive ice-sculpted Pirate ship, snow tubing, a Ferris Wheel, live shows and more activities. Watch a game, meet former Montréal Canadiens players and listen to live music by The Planet Smashers and more at hockey tournament Classique Montréalaise, Jan. 28 and 29 in Parc Jean-Drapeau. Cross-country ski and snowshoe with the Grande Traversée du Saint-Laurent, a winter sports odyssey stopping on Jan. 28 in Mount Royal Park. Party in the Old Port at electronic music festival Igloofest, pairing exquisite visuals with electronic music by Laurent Garnier, Oniris and more artists on Friday and Eats Everything, Catz ‘n Dogz and more on Saturday, while Kannibalen Records gets weekend #4 going on Feb. 2. Day or night, try Igloofest’s Nordik ice slide on Place Jacques-Cartier or visit the Nordik Village next to Quai Jacques-Cartier.

Active winter days

Montrealers aren’t afraid of a little cold weather – get outside and play in the snow with them, but be sure to dress for it and follow up with hot chocolate. Take advantage of the many free things to do this winter: go ice skating at Mount Royal Park’s Beaver Lake and Park La Fontaine; or spin the giant art-embellished zoetropes of this year’s Luminothérapie interactive art exhibition, open until Jan. 29. There’s ice skating in the Old Port and at Olympic Stadium Esplanade’s Village Mammouth , which also boasts a tube slide, entertainment and an activity area for kids. Indoors, things gets tropical at the Biodôme and Botanical Garden, just two of the many worlds at the Montréal Space for Life. And can cheer on NHL greats the Montréal Canadiens as they take on the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 31 at the Bell Centre.

Eat and drink

Prix-fixe multi-course meals at swanky restaurants come at affordable prices during Old Montréal’s Happening Gourmand event, on until Feb. 5. Find a quiet place to have a cocktail, warm up with food and drink next to Montréal’s coziest fireplaces or go for something different at the city’s new bars and restaurants. Find excellent restaurants in some of Montréal’s most popular neighbourhoods or indulge at the Casino de Montréal’s L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. Cheap and delicious, there’s nothing like a big bowl of pho or Japanese authentic ramen on a winter day. Or there’s always the comfort of locally-made Québec gin and chocolate.

Stage and screen

The French Revolution, faith, materialism and humanity are writ large in Francis Poulenc’s mystical opera Dialogues des carmélites presented in all its drama by Opéra de Montréal at Place des Arts, Jan. 27 to Feb. 4. Contemporary dance intrigues as well in Martin Messier’s multidisciplinary Corps Mort at La Chapelle, Jan. 23-27, followed by performance collective WIVES’s Action Movie, exploring the mass appeal of action movies from a feminist perspective, Jan. 30 to Feb. 3, and choreographer Dave St-Pierre and Anne Le Beau were inspired by the heroic Joan of Arc to create suie, presented by Danse Danse at Place des Arts, Feb. 1-11. Laugh along with farcical play Noises Off at the Segal Centre. Visit the Phi Centre’s Virtual Reality Garden and Not Short on Talent installation, and see asteroid-collision documentary Disaster Playground at the Canadian Centre for Architecture on Jan. 28. The SAT’s 360-degree surround-sound dome gets a workout during SATFEST screening short high-tech works. And actor-director Crispin Glover swoops into Bar Le Ritz P.D.B. with his Big Slide Show and his film It is fine! Everything Is Fine, followed on Saturday by another slide show and his film What Is It?
