Love Festival Montreal
About This Event
Love Festival is Montreal's gay circuit weekend, timed to Fierté Montréal — Montreal Pride — in early August. In 2026 it runs Thursday 6 to Sunday 9 August: four days and nights of big circuit parties across the city while Pride takes over the Village.
Each night is its own event: SAUVAGE opens on the Thursday, then LOCKER ROOM on Friday, DISTRICT INFERNO on Saturday, and PURE LOVE and MEAT LOVER close it out on the Sunday. It is a party festival — international DJs, big rooms, a mixed international crowd — not a Pride march; the parade is Fierté Montréal's own.
Tickets are sold per party through the festival's official ticketing partners, with an All Access pass also offered; popular nights sell out ahead, so book early.
Practical notes: Montreal in August is warm and at its liveliest during Pride week — the Village, the Plateau and downtown all run late. It is a walkable, metro-friendly city. Rooms fill for Pride weekend, so book well ahead. Check lovefestivalmtl.com for the party line-up and tickets.

Practical Tips
Buy the full pass, not single tickets
Locker Room, District Inferno, Pure Love and Meat Lover back-to-back is a lot of door prices; the bundle pays for itself by Saturday afternoon and skips the queues.
Base yourself in the Village
M Telus is a short walk or one Green line stop from Beaudry, so a Village hotel means you can duck home for a nap between the daytime and after-hours sets.
