What a wonderful venue and resource this place is for for the City of Montreal, staging all types of inside and outside festivals throughout the year. The vision for PdQdS is to promote: Life, Art and Entertainment, this is the spot where the Montreal Jazz festival is held each year. Most recently I took in the "The Festival of Lights" which was absolutely beautiful at night showcasing very intricate artistic multicolored light sculptures throughout the entire plaza. On a cold wintery evening it truly was spectacular, there was a space dedicated to a large enclosed log fed fire pit surrounded by 12 large Adirondack wooden chairs if you wished to warm up a bit while strolling and taking in the extraordinary beauty of the festival and Montreal City night lights.
