The Montreal International FestiBlues is a cultural event presented primarily outdoors in Montreal Ahunstic Park. However, FestiBlues also holds events at restaurants and bars nearby. Being the only major international event taking place in the north of the island of Montreal, FestiBlues helps boost cultural offerings outside the city center.

FestiBlues takes place in August over a span of four days, celebrating this year its seventeenth edition. It offers blues programming and related music.  In order to be accessible to a greater number of people, FestiBlues has a low pricing policy, offering quality programming with over fifty artists from national and international sources. 

Through a collaboration of more than ten years with the Blues sur Seine festival in France, FestiBlues allows local emerging blues artists from Quebec to perform in France and vice versa, while striving to promote the Francophone side of blues.

The FestiBlues is also a positive social opportunity. Each year, dozens of young people have the chance to work at the festival in order to experience the business aspect of the production of events. To others, it is a chance to develop a genuine passion for the work done in this field.

Ahuntsic park and La Maison de la Culture are located right next to the Henri-Bourassa metro station, between St-Hubert and Lajeunesse streets. Public transportation is strongly recommended to access the site.The FestiBlues is also easily accessible by the bus line 30 (St-Hubert/St-Denis).
