With so much to do and see, we all already know that Montreal is one hella cool place to be in the summer. And one of the most exciting events to take over the city every year is without a doubt the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The only Canadian stop on the GP circuit, Montrealers have always embraced the excitement of Formula 1. Some might even say, better than Europe itself. While there is a little something going on in almost every corner of the city, Old Montreal is going all out this year, with a huge selection of activities to celebrate the most prestigious race in the world, and not just for the super fan.

So if you're looking for a little more than just promo girls and model cars, check out some of what's happening in Old Montreal for F1 Weekend below.
