Telus Fire on Ice, Saturdays in December, 2009

Part of enjoying life in Montreal is adapting to the weather and still enjoying yourself. The Telus Fire on Ice series is a great way to do this.

According to their website:

From Saturday, December 5 at 8:00pm, and every Saturday of the month thereafter, the Telus Fire on Ice musical fireworks will project you into a universe of shapes and colors, created and put to music by internationally-recognized fireworks experts, known worldwide for their expertise and originality. This series of ‘pyro-musical’ shows not only kicks off the winter season, but puts you right at the heart of holiday magic! Only the best pyrotechnic firms in Quebec were selected to ignite the skies over the Quays:

The schedule:

December 5 – Ampleman Pyrotechnie

December 12 – BEM Pyrotechnie

December 19 – Royal Pyrotechnie

December 26 – FAE Pyrotechnie

If you don’t want to skate, you can always watch the show from l’Ile Bonsecours or the Promenade, both of which offer excellent views as well.
