Some events have changed to a virtual format, but many are canceled. Restaurants, bars, and most businesses are closed down and not offering in-person New Year events. However, Montreal is under a strict lockdown throughout the holiday season during 2020–2021. Night buses will also run on schedule, and the Montreal Casino bus #777 will be shuttling gamblers from Jean-Drapeau Metro station to the Casino and back all night long, as well. Unlimited evening passes are available for 5.50 Canadian dollars, roughly $4, which gives users unlimited access to public transit from 6 p.m. Instead, you can avoid getting frostbite from waiting in the cold by ordering an Uber-which may have a hiked fare due to higher demand-or hire a designated driver service to get you home if you drove yourself.Īlternatively, the Société de transport de Montréal will keep the Metro open all night for New Year's Eve so you can get home by yourself.
However, finding a taxi after the clubs close on New Year's Day can be an exasperating experience, especially if you're in one of the busier parts of the city. Whether you're looking to party all night or are traveling with family, there's an event for everyone on New Year's Eve. From dancing the night away at one of Montreal's hottest clubs to enjoying an intimate evening of fireworks and fine dining, there are plenty of ways to celebrate New Year's Eve in Montreal.
