Go Bike Montreal Festival brings Tour la Nuit and Tour de l'Île this weekend
Thousands of cyclists expected; major traffic disruptions across central boroughs Friday and Sunday, both events starting at Jarry Park.
Thousands of cyclists will take over Montreal streets this weekend as the Go Bike Montreal Festival returns with two major rides: Tour la Nuit on Friday evening and Tour de l'Île de Montréal on Sunday.
Both events begin and end at Jarry Park, and the SPVM is warning residents to expect major traffic disruptions across several central boroughs. If you're planning to drive or use transit during the festival hours, expect delays and consider alternative routes.
For cyclists, these rides are a fixture of the spring calendar—a chance to experience the city's streets without car traffic and connect with thousands of other riders. Whether you're doing the night ride Friday or the full-island loop Sunday, arrive early to Jarry Park for parking and registration.
It's one of those weekends where Montreal transforms into something different for 48 hours—the streets belong to bikes, and the city feels smaller and more connected because of it.
