Piknic Électronik is a dance party like no other. It continues to make electronic music available to the masses, with an emphasis on highlighting the enormous talent found in Montréal's electronic music scene. It's a dance-a-licious weekly event that's both a great party and an opportunity to get musically educated. The site itself is a Montréal gem. The green space of Parc Jean-Drapeau is the historic location of Expo 67, and provides views of the St. Lawrence river, Mount Royal and the downtown skyline. Piknic Électronik is accessible by bike, subway, car, and even by boat... heck, you could swim if you are feeling ambitious. It's also the perfect spot to watch the sun set over Montréal. |

The beautiful offspring of a union between European charm and North American attitude, Montréal's architecture seduces the visitors with a harmonious chorus of the ancient and the new. Montreal's Gay Village is located on Saint Catherine Street East, downtown, centred on Beaudry metro station, in the Ville-Marie borough of the city. The Village runs approximately from Berri Street to De Lorimier Street, a distance of nearly two kilometres, making it the largest in North America in terms of scope of the complete area. Formerly a poor working-class neighbourhood, part of the Centre-South area of the city, the area was occupied by the gay and lesbian community after the huge expulsion of many gay businesses from an area closer to Saint Lawrence Boulevard (or "The Main" as the locals call it).
