Laval, June 19, 2024 — Following the resounding success of its first edition, the Momo cultural station will return to the Montmorency district, in the heart of downtown Laval, from August1 to September 29. The station will occupy a new space, just as green and welcoming: the public square at Place Bell, located just a stone’s throw from last year’s location. Some thirty varied and free activities and events will be offered to suit all tastes: music, circus, and comedy shows, urban dance battles, improvisational theater, DJ sets, and much more.
“The Momo Cultural Hub offers a vibrant space to socialize, work, relax, and have fun while enjoying some sunshine! For two months, this must-visit destination will feature engaging atmospheres and events thanks to the collaboration of numerous partners. The station allows visitors to fully enjoy our downtown while offering an opportunity to make culture a powerful driver of development for this area, which is transforming into a leading cultural hub.”
— Flavia Alexandra Novac, City Councilmember of Sainte-Rose and Director of Cultural Affairs
“The Momo Cultural Station is the perfect showcase for promoting the art, creativity, and innovation that define Laval, while enhancing the downtown area’s appeal as a must-visit entertainment destination. I invite the people of Laval and visitors alike to come out in large numbers.”
— Christopher Skeete, Deputy Minister of the Economy, Minister in charge of the Fight Against Racism, and Minister in charge of the Laval region
The program will feature a diverse lineup of memorable events, including a series of special events. Among these are the station’s launch event with rapper Calamine and the back-to-school Block Party organized by Aire commune, featuring live performances and DJ sets. The station will also come alive to the rhythm of the MOSAÏQUE festival during three musical and festive evenings dedicated to celebrating cultural diversity through the arts. L’Entre-deux artistique will present performances during lunchtime, while several evenings on the terrace will feature DJ sets as part of the Momo Mix series. Co-Motion will present Co-Motion Thursdays, a varied program featuring rap, comedy, and urban dance, alongside 7Starr. The Momo cultural station is also a new destination for families with the presentation of Momo en famille, which will offer three circus shows that will provide unforgettable moments for the audience.
Designed by the event design firm Aire commune, the layout of the Momo cultural hub draws inspiration from the essence and the four elements of nature: water, earth, air, and fire. The site will offer a unique experience with terraces, a play area with self-service games, relaxation and work spaces, as well as several shaded and landscaped areas. Some forty planters containing over 200 perennials, shrubs, and trees will help transform the site into a true green oasis, while also countering heat islands. A bar service will also be available during certain events, and meals can be enjoyed on-site. More than twenty restaurants are located near the station, offering something to suit every taste.
The Momo Cultural Station invites you to experience the Montmorency area and downtown Laval in a whole new way—a destination for all Laval residents where art and culture come together every day.
