#ParcJeanDrapeau
Cinéma flottant
This summer, rediscover the joys of outdoor movies with an activity that's both original and refreshing: the Cinéma flottant.
At dusk, Parc Jean-Drapeau's Aquatic Complex turns into a projection room under the stars. Film-lovers of all ages are invited to watch a movie from the pool, comfortably set up on a buoy.
There is no equipment needed; just put on your swimsuit, leave your cares and worries in the changing room and let yourself float. The buoys are provided on site to ensure a relaxing time and some unforgettable entertainment in one of Montréal's most emblematic locations.
It's the ideal opportunity to extend your stay at Parc Jean-Drapeau or come back to enjoy a unique cinematic experience, with your feet in the water and your head in the stars.
