Montreal’s Grand Prix is a big deal for Canadian Formula 1 fanatics. For the rest of us, it’s an excuse to party for three straight days.
This year, from June 16 to 19, the city will come alive on F1 weekend for the first time in over two years. Downtown streets will be packed to the brim with an estimated 300,000 race fans and party people from all over the globe.
