In the wake of the pandemic Montréal en Lumière satisfies everyone s taste | Cohen Confidential With Mike Cohen

Like virtually every other festival impacted by the never-ending COVID-19 pandemic, Montréal en Lumière has managed to continue onwards this year by making some adjustments to correspond with safety measures in place. Since its beginning in 2000 over 600 special guests from the culinary world from over 20 countries have come to celebrate the best of what Quebec gastronomy has to offer: its chefs, producers, artisans, and culinary culture. During the Festival, the Quartier des Spectacles and its Place des Festivals—the headquarters of downtown celebrations— generally become the essential winter destination, offering a wide range of free activities for all.

The challenge of Montréal en lumière foodie fare going all-digital

Article content For the past year, most festivals here have had to mount digital versions of their events because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But that transition seems downright easy for music or film fests compared with the challenge of organizing a food-focused festival online. With music, you can do virtual concerts, while films can easily be screened online. Doing a food fest online is the dilemma facing Montréal en lumière, which kicks off Thursday. Foodie fare is a key part of this festival and this year’s edition is built around a unique blend of digital food programming and some real-world fare that can happen even within the context of a world constrained by all sorts of public health rules.
