About Quai Jacques-Cartier

Quai Jacques-Cartier sits along the public waterfront at the Old Port of Montréal, a historic quay within The Grand Quay complex. This non-traditional venue hosts major shows and events in the in-the-round Grand Chapiteau configuration for performances like Cirque du Soleil. With a typical capacity around 2,500 seats when in use, the space is as much a destination as a performance site, offering a festive atmosphere on the waterfront and proximity to Montréal’s vibrant Old Port district.

Whether you’re planning a Cirque du Soleil night, a large-scale festival, or a public event at the Quay, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining to help you secure your seats without the hassle.

Nearby hotels such as Hotel William Gray, Hôtel Nelligan, and Le Saint-Sulpice bring luxury and convenience within a short ride to the Grand Quay. For dining, explore the Old Port’s diverse options and consider affiliate partner recommendations to enhance your stay. The Old Port area is branded The Grand Quay / The Quays of the Old Port, reflecting ongoing redevelopment and a lively calendar of events including Igloofest, Red Bull Diving, C2 Montréal, and Cirque du Soleil shows like KOOZA and LUZIA.

Transit is straightforward via STM with access to Champ-de-Mars, Place d’Armes, or Square-Victoria metro stations, plus bus routes 50, 129, and 55. On-site paid parking at the Old Port is available with varying rates by duration. When events are announced, we’ll share date specifics and seating details to help you plan your visit with confidence.
