They don’t call Montreal the Sin City of the North for nothing. Our Canadian city may be in the middle of a country known for its stereotypical politeness, but Montreal is a city of partying that offers no apologies for its ability to feverishly celebrate an event. One of its biggest draws comes with the annual changing of the year: the alcohol-infused, world-wide dance party known as Montreal New Year’s Eve.

When it comes to celebrating the New Year, Montreal establishments pull no punches and invite anyone with a desire to be festive and have a good time to some of the biggest parties of the year. Fueling these late-night engagements is Montreal’s eclectic assortment of nightclubs. These establishments were designed for parties and not one shies away from the potential crowds that are guaranteed on New Year’s Eve.

If you’re looking to ring in the new year at some of the hottest parties in the entire North American continent, look no further than the following selection of Montreal New Year’s parties.
