So that's the question
What's your favorite festival and why!?

As a local, I'm quite curious to get feedback from our most popular tourist: Americans!

   For me, it's easy.  It's the Jazz Festival.  Cause it's FUNNNNNNN!!!!  And I'm not even a jazz lover.....(and it's the only festival I've been to. LOL  :)  It's like 1 GIGANTIC PARTY!!!!!    I love the fact that they have performances going from early until midnight.   Makes it easy to transition from the festival to the clubs too.

   A tie between the film and jazz festivals, for me!

   Worlds Festival - my bad - I meant the Les Week-End du Monde at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

   Thanks for the correction, Mathieu...shucks!  looks like I just missed it this year...
   Anyone been to this?  Sounds interesting ....World Arab Festival - Festival du Monde Arabe de Montréal....(I don't think even NYC is quite ready for something like this b/c of the politics involved)
   Jennifer: I happened to be in Montreal on the last weekend of Just for Laughs...didn't find out until I was there lol....I've seen some clips on youtube.....looks pretty cool...

   I'm a local but I have to say my favorite is by far the "Juste pour rire" festival (Just for laughs). There's just too many fun things to do :)

    The issue, in my humble opinion with JFL (JPR) it that it's expensive. Though I didn't mention the FREE one. I guess i'd have to ask the question for the Free one's

    Le festival du Monde Arabe. I was surprise to see many shows are sold out. That's the most I like in Montreal, ppl are starving for other cultures.
    Cheers,
