The Grand Prix is one of Montreal’s most prestigious events (and also one of its most polluting). The event brings a ton of tourists to the city, as well as a host of celebrities.

Big celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart and the Jackson 5 have previously been spotted at star-studded events. This year, the Journal de Montréal has reason to believe that Adam Sandler, Antoni Porowski and Bono could be in the city celebrating the F1.

Here are all of the places you might spot celebrities in Montreal this weekend.

Ritz Carlton

The Ritz Carlton is obviously the lodging of choice for F1 drivers and celebrities. Not to mention its exclusive F1 party that brings together a ton of A-List celebrities.


PY1

PY1 is promising a star-studded party this weekend. Cirque du Soleil cofounder and local celebrity Guy Laliberté will be attending the mutlimedia, themed party.


Aéroport Pierre-Elliott Trudeau

The airport is obviously where most celebrities and drivers will be landing. If you’re lucky like fan below was, you might meet your hero at the airport.


The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve

Obviously, most celebrities will be hanging out at the actual race. If you walk by the paddocks, chances are that you will spot some A-listers


Old Port

The Old Port is home to high-end restaurants and clubs. If you wander down the borough’s cobbled streets for long enough, you’re pretty likely to run into a celebrity on a night out.


Supper Clubs

Wether it be at Flyjinn or Soubois, celebrities like to congregate in the city’s many supper clubs for a swanky night out. Look into one of the many parties happening this weekend for an inkling of where they might be.

Joe Beef

The city’s most famous restaurant has been visited by the likes of Anthony Bourdain, amongst other famous patrons. Book yourself a table at the exclusive restaurant (or just wait outside) to spot celebrities having dinner.


Mount Royal Lookout

This Montreal highlight is a must for any tourist, and even celebrities don’t want to miss out on the view of the city. If you’re lucky, you might get to see an A-lister.
