Planning an Event in Mount Royal Park

With its green expanses, sweeping views and heritage buildings, Mount Royal Park is often the first place that comes to mind when planning a gathering, shooting a movie or holding a meeting.

Because Mount Royal Park is part of the Mount Royal Heritage Site, certain rules must be respected to preserve this magnificent jewel and iconic Montréal site. Before organizing a picnic in the park, for instance, read our FAQ and find out about services provided in the park.

 

Does your group include 50 or more people?

When planning an event with 50 people or more, such as a big party, fundraiser or sporting event, in Mount Royal Park, you must obtain a permit from the City of Montréal. Please note that the City’s Public Events Division only issues permits to non-profit organizations in Montréal.

See the City of Montréal’s website to find out more about public events in Mount Royal Park.

For information on holding medium- or large-scale events in the park, please refer to City of Montréal guidelines (French only).
