Piknic Électronik is a weekly electronic music festival which takes place every Sunday during the summer in Montreal, Quebec.
Established in 2003, the festival takes place at Parc Jean-Drapeau, only ten minutes outside of Downtown Montreal, and features local and international DJs and producers.
[2] In 2013, Piknic Électronik expanded to Barcelona, with other local editions of the festival beginning in Melbourne and Dubai in 2014, in Santiago in 2015, and in Paris in 2019.
Piknic Electronik has a friendly and inclusive vibe, therefore, the event does not allow anybody to sell, sample or hand-out promotional items.
[8] There is an area in the centre with picnic tables to eat, drink as well as an outdoor volleyball court near the smaller stage.
[9] Parc Jean Drapeau, where the event takes place, is located east of downtown Montreal along the Saint Lawrence River.
Aside from specialized music programming, the festival organizes games and other age-appropriate activities, as well as noise-cancelling headphones for children.
