Montreal is the city of festivals. The world famous jazz festival ended a week ago and the Festival International Nuits D'Afrique just started. Montreal is a multi-ethnic city with inhabitants from all over the world; it has a sizable immigrant population from French speaking Africa and from the Caribbean islands that makes the Montreal cultural scene one of the the most colorful in Canada.
The Festival International Nuits D'Afrique is a regular feature of the city and the event has an unmistakable African atmosphere incorporating stage performances and an African craft market where all sorts of art and crafts products are sold from Africa and from the Caribbean Islands.
Below are some of the images, I made about the shows just to give you a feel for the place that despite the bad weather, might turn out to be one of the most successful cultural events in this years.
