I’m back in Montreal, and loving it. Over the weekend I checked out the Tam Tam Festival something I missed out on last time I was here.
The Tam Tam Festival happens every Sunday during the summer season and is completely public. Nothing is organised. It is just people rocking up to the Mont Royale Park with Tom Toms, Shakers, Tins, Drums, Bins or what ever they can hit or make noise with to play with the ever expanding group. Grooves are found and lost. They come in waves, fading when they just aren’t working and building to glorious crescendo’s when going well. People from all walks of life play and enjoy, welcomed to the collective.
On the day I went it was mightily hot, so I didn’t stay all that long but taking a picnic lunch and a blanket would be a good idea if you ever want to check out it. Of course it’s all free and open and you can ride a Bixi bike right to the park!
