I hadn't really danced to techno or electronica since the late 1990's, but I always had an affinity to that musical art form. By pure coincidence, I was visiting Montreal during the MEG Montreal Festival (https://megmontreal.com/en/) ...a multi-day celebration of electronica music with some popular DJs, whom I don't keep track of any more, but they were all great. Saturday afternoon and into the night was giant dance party at the Place des Festivals. Youthful energetic 20 somethings and teens were dressed in costumes and club wear, dancing away. Older folks like myself in their 30s and up were up and dancing too, reliving our long lost youth. Onze onze onze onze!!!
Otherwise on a quiet weekday, this area seems like just another urban park area in downtown Montreal.
