La Mèche Courte 2026 is a festival in Montreal, Canada, taking place over one weekend from November 6 to 8, 2026. It offers a focused way to spend a few days in the city, with the emphasis on its creative and cultural life.
What to expect
The event invites visitors to explore Montreal's creative and cultural scene across the weekend. Because it runs in early November, it also gives you the chance to experience the city in autumn, when the streets and neighbourhoods have a distinct character of their own.
