Montreal is normally home to about three million people, but during the jazz fest, more than a million fans pack the downtown hotels. They mingle with jugglers and vendors selling Cajun food. The luckiest find seats at one of the sidewalk cafes. And the fast pace of this cosmopolitan city slows down. That's something the jazz fans appreciate.
People just do their own thing.
Yeah, feel free. Many fans are international, especially from the United States. Still, Americans like Eric from New York City insist the main draw is the music. It's just amazing, you walk around, you have all this jazz in the background. In New York, you can get any kind of music but for this one specific genre, coming here is much better than staying in New York City.
