# Pop Montréal

Pop Montréal is een jaarlijks muziekfestival in Canada. Pop Montréal richt zich vooral op de presentatie van nieuwe bands en artiesten, een zogenoemd showcasefestival, vergelijkbaar met SxSW, maar kleinschaliger van aard. Vooral indierockartiesten worden vertegenwoordigd op het festival. Het vindt plaats op enkele tientallen locaties in het centrum van Montréal.
