I won’t bore you, let’s get straight to it. There are a few months that just drag in Montreal: November’s rainy gloom, January’s post-holiday reality check, and February’s relentless winter bite. That’s exactly why the best immersive experiences in Montreal are such a gift. They offer a real escape — and trust us, our influencers didn’t just love these… they went back more than once. I’ve experienced half of them myself and plan to fill the rest of my winter calendar with the rest. See you there ;)
AURA Experience at Notre-Dame Basilica
Light, sound, history — elevated. This one is a religious experience and made right here in Montreal by the talented team at Moment Factory.
The iconic Notre-Dame Basilica becomes something entirely different after dark. AURA is a breathtaking multimedia spectacle that wraps you in light projections, orchestral soundscapes, and spiritual grandeur. Even if you’ve visited the Basilica before, you’ve never seen it like this. It’s cinematic, emotional, and quietly powerful.
One of Moment Factory’s most beautiful shows. No wonder they have a few projected cathedrals around the globe!
The Empire Strips Back
Star Wars… but make it burlesque.
Yes, it’s cheeky. Yes, it’s hilarious. And yes, it’s wildly entertaining. The Empire Strips Back reimagines your favorite sci-fi universe with high-energy burlesque performances, dazzling costumes, and just the right amount of irreverence. It’s bold, playful, and surprisingly well-produced.
Perfect for a fun night out when you want something totally unexpected.
