Montreal with Kids: June 2025
End-of-year recitals. Exams. School carnivals. Sport tournaments. Maybe graduations. But also, summer’s arrival. The month of June may be packed full of school, work and social commitments but that doesn’t mean that you should skip all of the amazing festivals and events coming to town this month! Kick off the summer season (and finally enjoy the sunshine) with this Montreal with kids June 2025 edition!
Big Bounce – May 31 – June 15
After writing about this event for two years, and it never actually taking place, I was skeptical that the biggest bounce castle in the world could make it to Montreal. But it’s here! Located at Carrefour Angrignon, this bouncy experience has many activities to enjoy including a 300m long bounce course, ball pits and sports centre. Three-hour sessions start at $32 and increase by age.
Yatai Festival – June 5-8
Back again this year, this celebration of Japan features a street market that is visited by thousands. Admission is just $5 and kids under 12 are free. Discover local delicacies and shop at merchant booths. On Saturday, June 7th there will be a Shiba and Akita dog presentation too.
First Fridays – June 6-7
The food trucks return for the summer season, back at their original location of the
Olympic Stadium. Both evenings from 4pm to 11pm, dozens of local food trucks will be selling their bites and treats, alongside the sounds of a DJ,
Astrofest – June 7-8
The Montreal Planetarium will be hosting a special free event, now in its 5th year. The theme – Mars, Life in Red – will include daytime science activities, like water rockets and a make your own meteor project. On Saturday from 6pm to midnight, it will be an evening of marshmallows, telescopes, lectures, DJs and cocktails!
Ormstown Expo – June 12-15
Ready for a good old fashioned country fair? Consult the daily schedule to decide if you want to see a demolition derby, tractor pull, cattle show or all of the above. Daily passes start at $15/child or $20/adult with an additional fee required if you purchase a pass for the carnival rides.
Festival sur le Canal – June 13-15
The Southwest is celebrating its very special community, by the Lachine Canal, with 3 days of music, food and local vendors. Taking place at Parc du Centennaire, you can expect a feel-good family environment.
Holi Fest of Colours – June 21-22
The messiest, most fun experience of the month is back at the Old Port’s Clock Tower Quay. This colour throwing festival is all about joy and love (and lots of colours flying through the air). Plan to attend on Sunday from 1-3pm when there will be special children’s animation including DJ Erica Samm, clowns, inflatables and water gun adventures. Kids’ tickets start at $15.
Aquazilla – Opens June 21
You know summer has officially arrived when Parc Jean Drapeau’s Aquazilla opens. This inflatable structure at the beach has slides, swings and so much more fun. Children must be atleast 6 years old and those between 6-8 must be accompanied by an adult. You can buy a 1-hour or day pass.
