Tour la Nuit

The Tour la Nuit has been part of Montreal's heritage for over 25 years. Every year, tens of thousands of people gather to celebrate the pleasure of cycling in a festive, safe and unique atmosphere.

The cancellation of the 2026 edition was a huge disappointment not only for the participants, but also for the hundreds of volunteers, employees, partners and collaborators who had been working for months to bring this event to fruition.

This decision was not taken lightly.

Right up to the last minute, Vélo Québec, the Ville de Montréal and the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal worked together to find a solution that would allow the event to continue under safe conditions. Although Tour la Nuit was presented rain or shine, the exceptional weather conditions that evening made operations more complex than expected. Despite our best efforts, the evolving situation on the ground meant that we could no longer guarantee the level of safety to which we are committed for a gathering of this magnitude. We therefore took the difficult decision to cancel the event.

We understand the frustration, incomprehension and disappointment this situation has aroused. We share them.

The Tour la Nuit remains a flagship event for Montreal and Quebec cycling culture. This cancellation does not call into question the strength of the project, nor the commitment of the teams and partners who make it possible year after year. The lessons learned from this situation will help to make future editions even stronger.

We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has shown their trust, understanding and attachment to Tour la Nuit. It is thanks to this passionate community that this event continues to exist and evolve.
