Montreal never has a shortage of entertainment in the summer.

One of the newest festivals is Montreal Completement Cirque, which started its third annual season Wednesday evening with a parade that began at the Quartier des Spectacles and wound its way toward Parc Emilie-Gamelin.

Artists, acrobats and circus performers of every style marched, danced, or walked on stilts, scooping up a curious crowd along the way.

Several free shows, along with performances that require tickets, take place in Montreal for the next ten days.
