EVENTS

THE GRANDE-PLACE 

Since the Complexe opened, the Grande-Place has successfully fulfilled the mandate it was given at the outset, namely to provide Montrealers with a welcoming place to gather and host activities of all kinds, always free of charge. The large-scale, high-quality events organized here have made a significant contribution to the renown of Complexe Desjardins.
