The Jackalope Festival announced it will remain in Montreal for at least the next two years, confirming that its 2026 edition will take place from September 11 to September 13 at the Old Port. The decision extends the event’s presence in the city through 2028, ensuring that the annual cultural gathering continues to be a fixture on Montreal’s summer calendar.
Jackalope, known for its recurring cultural programming, has been hosted in Montreal for several seasons. Organizers reaffirmed the festival’s commitment to the city, citing the venue’s historic waterfront setting as a key factor in the decision. By securing the Old Port for the upcoming 2026 dates, the festival aims to maintain the momentum built over previous years while offering attendees a familiar and accessible location.
The extension through 2028 provides a clear timeline for both participants and local partners to plan future collaborations. With the 2026 dates now set, the festival is positioned to continue its role in showcasing artistic and cultural works that draw both residents and visitors to the heart of Montreal’s waterfront district.
