The other day I met this guy on the streets and he asked me what was the best way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. So obviously I told him about Tam Tam.
Tam Tam is a meeting of Montrealers in the bottom of Mont Royal every Sunday afternoon! This tradition has been going on for over 40 years as soon as the snow melts until the winter starts again. A lot of people meet up to chill out after a long week of work, school or partying.
Most Sundays, there is a group of Tam Tam players (equivalent of a djembe) that gave the name to this incredible reunion. They play at the bottom of the park adjacent to Avenue du Parc.
However if that’s not your thing, there is other music playing higher up on the hill.
You can just do anything you want, smoke a little, drink a little, listen to good music, suntan, enjoy life with friends…
