Montreal is the second-largest city in Canada, located in the middle of the St. Lawrence River in the southwestern part of Quebec, and has the largest population of French-speaking individuals outside of Paris. Nicknamed “The City of a Hundred Bell Towers”, by Mark Twain on his visit in the 19th century, Montreal is a captivating city embellished with old and modern architectural infrastructures and a genuine love for festivals and excellent food.
This is why it’s one of the top cities in Canada to hold trade shows and exhibits. Beaumont Exhibits is your one-stop shop for your Montreal trade show displays, exhibits, booths, banners, and products. Much more than a booth builder – we have reinvented the traditional offering of trade show displays. Our customer service team, designers, architects, fabricators, and project managers are with you every step of the way.
If you are looking for things to do and enjoy in the city of Montreal while you are taking part in a trade show, here are the Top 10 Fun activities that you can do.
Mont-Royal is an impressive park, designed by the same person who planned Central Park in New York and it is located between the Laurentian and the Appalachian Mountains, this hillock is situated in the western part of Downtown Montreal. You can take a hike or ride a bike to reach the top and enjoy the breathtaking views of Montreal that extend beyond the borders of the city to the St Lawrence River.
See to it that you don’t miss the opportunity to go tubing down the hill in the winter and watch the Tam Tam Jam on a Sunday during the Summer.
Known for its largest collection of historic landmarks, Old Montreal’s amazing neighborhood has been in existence since the 17th century and it is considered to be the oldest area of the city. Enjoy walking around the Old Montreal’s cobblestone streets filled with rows of french restaurants, boutiques, and museums.
Quartier des Spectacles is Montreal’s best-known place for cultural events and entertainment where the city’s well-known festivals are held. The Montreal International Jazz Festival, being the largest in the world, attracts an estimated number of three million people per year, featuring about three thousand musicians from different countries around the world. Aside from having around 650 live performances during the 10-day celebration, more than half of the performances are free. You can go to one of the ten outdoor theaters if you are into Jazz music or buy tickets to relish a performance from famous musicians in one of the indoor concerts.
Jean-Talon Market is a colorful open-air market located in the Little Italy district of Montreal. This farmer’s market is located between the De Castelnau and Jean-Talon metro stations that are stretched along 2 city streets and it is a place filled with over 300 vendors selling locally produced vegetables, fruits, and meat from farms. In case you’re not looking to shop cheese, spices, fresh food, and items in bulk this place is great to interact with the locals as you roam around going to other places of interest and fun activities.
Vieux-Port de Montreal or the Old Port of Montreal is Quebec, Canada’s historic port made of a large space that is sitting along Old Montreal’s waterfront and attracts more than 6 million people every year. Although the port’s origin can be traced back to 1830, it was used as a trading post by French fur traders in 1611 and it has been redeveloped as a place that is designated for amusement and recreation in the early 1990s. Today, this scenic area holds other places of interest including the Montreal Clock Tower, Plage de l’Horloge, and the Montreal Science Centre. In addition, it hosts different events including a new show at the Jacques Cartier Quay from Cirque du Soleil every 2 years.
Found in bistros, diners, and pubs in all parts of the city, poutine doesn’t seem to be visually appealing but it certainly is once you get to have a taste. Although it is similar to chips with gravy and cheese, poutine is made up of chips, gravy, and cheese curds. The gravy is light brown and made from a mix of beef, chicken stock, meat gravy, and vinegar. Poutine La Banquise, located at 994 Rue Rachel East borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, specializes in this type of dish and serves different types of poutine for 24 hours.
Located at the center of Montreal’s downtown area, Au Sommet Place Ville Marie sits on top of the 46th floor of Place Ville-Marie offers an astounding 360° view of the city covering St. Joseph’s Oratory, Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium, and Jacques-Cartier Bridge. Au Sommet Place Ville Marie is the second tallest skyscraper in Montreal and it gives visitors a special view of Montreal’s International Fireworks Competition as well as other fireworks events that happen throughout the year. You can get to Au Sommet PVM via Montreal public transit either by getting off at McGill Metro or Bonaventure Metro and enjoy shopping on the ground floor.
Walking around the small neighborhood packed with fashionable boutiques, cafés, coffee shops, and restaurants at Mile-end is an experience you don’t want to miss when you are in the area. This artist’s enclave is also filled with studios, workshops, and galleries that you can enjoy after dropping by St-Viateur or Fairmount Bagel to have a taste of Montreal bagel. In addition, you can also shop for local designer clothes and used books before you end the day at the Dieu du Ciel brewery.
The underground city is a network of subterranean tunnels that sprawls in every part of Montreal’s downtown core with convenient access to the subway system that is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer. Although it primarily functions as a means of moving people around the metro, this multi-level maze is an attraction that you can’t get enough knowing it’s one of the largest in the world and is being utilized by more than half a million individuals daily. Make sure to drop by 1000 de la Gauchetière and have fun at the indoor skating rink for a memorable experience.
The Montreal Biodome is one of four locations that comprise the largest complex of natural science museums in Canada. This indoor facility hosts recreations of 4 different ecosystems including the Sub-Antarctic Islands and those that are found in North America. Moreover, it also features thousands of different animal and plant species to explore. Make sure that you don’t miss out on experiencing its tropical forests and the collection of penguins.

I love working with the Beaumont Team; I know any project I work with them on is in good hands! The team is professional, knowledgeable, great at communicating every step of the way and keeping our projects on time. Their flexibility to work within our budget is always appreciated and I know on event day, things will go smoothly with their ready assistance.
James, Jamilyn and the Beaumont crew really came through for us on a last minute booth rental request. We had a show in Atlanta and they turned around the project in less than 3 weeks, handling all logistics, setting us up in a professional looking booth and responding quickly to all our questions along the way. Looking forward to working with Beaumont for future conferences.
James and team worked with us for months on an extensive exhibit booth trade show in multiple locations. They were always accommodating with our requests and always easy to get in touch with no matter the situation. There truly wasn’t anything they couldn’t do!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Beaumont & Co Exhibits; this was our third time using them during the ESRI event in San Diego, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. James and Jamilyn from Beaumont Exhibits were the epitome of professionalism, and their dedication to supplying top-notch service truly made a significant impact on our booth rental experience.
From concept to follow through, the team at Beaumont got it right! I was thrilled with the collaboration to see our vision come to life – all with the an excellent collection of support. James and Karen with great to work with and did well to keep the ball moving and ensure we made it to the finish line promptly.
Our 20FT Linear had a custom die-cut logo and digital interfaces, that deployed in Ottawa at the RIMS Canada Conference. We were a show stopper to say the least. When the time comes for another project, I know where I’ll be going!
We had a very positive experience working with Beaumont in the Vancouver Convention Center. The booth they created for us was designed and installed on time and with the best quality standards. Thanks to Maria and James who helped us step by step before, during and after the process.
Trying to plan a trade show in Brussels while being located in the US was nerve-wracking, but finding Beaumont & Co. and Luciana, made it much easier! Luciana went above and beyond when there were shipping mishaps and made sure that we received our booth on a tight timeline. The quality of the booth was great and easy to put together. They really work to meet your needs.
Beaumont Exhibits. We love the new signage. It shows Halifax beautifully.
Just outstanding work all week guys. As always.
The Exhibit Area has been a hit all conference long, thanks to our wonderful partner Beaumont Exhibits, who has made sure our booths and signage have been on point with their top-notch work. Thank you!
“There is nothing that compares to the Beaumont Exhibits booth system; it will be in my mind or even should be the industry standard. Our booth was revered by all who came upon it. In fact, a comment I heard from a passerby was “Now that’s a booth!” comparing it to all the thousands of other booths at the Las Vegas AHR convention”
“MetOcean Telematics appreciates working with Beaumont Exhibits for our trade show needs. Beaumont Exhibits understands the complex nuisances of the industries in which we do business and has played an important role in helping us present our products to clients worldwide.”

We cater to some of the world’s largest defense contractors in the world. We have no hesitations in recommending Beaumont & Co. to them as a provider of quality display materials. The feedback we received has been most positive and we are looking forward to a long relationship with James and Sean as they grow their business here in Atlantic Canada and beyond.”
“Beaumont & Co. was great to deal with in that they incorporated all our design suggestions in a timely fashion and their superior customer service made the this process very relaxed and straightforward. The final products turned out nicely and to our satisfaction – the displays look professional and high-quality. The banner’s LED component allows us to stand out at trade shows/career fairs. They went the extra mile and set-up the display for us on two separate occasions which was very much appreciated. They have also responded to additional follow-up queries related to the products. All in all, we are quite happy with the end product and experience on a whole.”
