Mont Royal
During Sundays in the summertime, the Mount Royal Park in Montreal hosts the Tam-Tams Jam. Located at the George-Étienne Cartier Monument, it is an informal festival attracting a wide variety of drummers, dancers, vendors, and onlookers. The exact details of the festival’s beginnings are subject to debate, but gathering at Mount Royal Park on Sundays has been popular among Montrealers since the park’s inauguration in 1876.
