MONTREAL – “Sainte-Catherine Street Celebrates!” is back, blocking off about two kilometres of the downtown artery to gather merchants, performers, artists, and above all, tourists.
The street festival is celebrating its 19th edition and is expecting more than 300,000 visitors throughout the weekend of July 15 to 17.
Shops are set up along the street offering discounts and promotions for their otherwise underground storefronts.

It’s not all about the sales though, food trucks and restaurants have set up samples and specials for customers who want to take a break from the shopping.
Artists are also displaying their work, much of which is for sale, along with dancers and musicians performing at multiple street corners.
Technology is taking a forefront this year with several merchants displaying their 360 degree cameras and digital photo booths.
The street festival stretches along Ste-Catherine Street from Guy Street to de Bleury Street.
