A Winter Experience Like no Other in the World. The Montréal en Lumière Festival Opens a 1000-Foot-Long Aerial Skating Trail with an Ambience of Immersive Sound and Light

Jacques Primeau, general manager of MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, initiated the far-reaching project. Now in its 24th year, the Festival has developed unparalleled expertise in Nordic-context events and illuminated animation. Highlighting skating as a central activity of the festival seemed a natural, since its history is intimately linked to that of the city of Montreal.

Public rinks have long been important socio-cultural gathering places that, much like hockey, unite communities. A true hallmark of our “Montréalness,” hockey always has been played in small and large arenas across the city.

The team wanted the installation, which would occupy the entire Place des Festivals, to have a positive visual impact not only for skaters on the ice, but also for people admiring it from outside the rink.

Erected in the heart of the Place des Festivals, a bustling social and culinary hub, the Skating Loop is also surrounded by heated oases specially designed to ensure the skaters’ comfort: a chalet in which to put on skates sheltered from the cold and a covered and heated terrace at the Bistro SAQ where everyone is invited to relax after a few laps.
