3 Explosive Shows in 3 Different Locations - All within 12 days!

Sunday July 12, Thursday July 16 and Thursday July 23, 2026!

The renowned and spectacular Montreal International Fireworks Competition returns on July 2, 2026 with 8 shows!

Sunday July 12 - Our First stop is the lush Parc Dieppe, with its rolling hills, picnic tables and beautiful views of Montreal's harbour, photographing the changing light as the sun sets behind the city's shimmering skyscrapers. Inspirational images from previous fireworks will be shown as we discuss pre-shoot tips and techniques and what to expect.

Precisely at 10 pm, Italy will present its dazzling show! We conclude the evening with an on-site image review at a picnic table, chatting and relaxing as we wait for the traffic to clear.

Thursday, July 16 - Our Second destination is my favourite secret spot in Longeuil, to capture the spectacular fiery explosions launched from St Helen's Island.
China lights up the sky with its synchronized music!

We will rendezvous at a small park with free on-street parking, then walk to the open site. With excellent views, unobstructed sightlines, magnificent reflections on the St. Lawrence River and beautiful Mount Royal capped with its illuminated cross, this location offers stunning visuals.
Time and traffic permitting, the evening concludes with socializing in a nearby bistro in Vieux Longueil.

Thursday, July 23 - Our third rendezvous is a hotel rooftop in Vieux Montréal! This location provides an elevated view of the fiery rockets bursting above the La Grande Roue Ferris Wheel and the harbour for a distinctive finish! Here we can indulge in food and drinks as we prepare for the big show! Location revealed to paid guests!
Canada will present its pyrotechnics show!

Note: The fireworks sessions proceed rain or shine!
Roof protection is available at the hotel rooftop.
