Tam-Tams, Sunday musical gathering in Mount Royal Park, Canada.
Hundreds of drummers create rhythmic sounds near the George-Étienne Cartier Monument while participants dance, socialize, and spread across the grass.
The informal percussion gathering started in the mid-1960s at Mount Royal Park, transforming into a regular celebration during Montreal's warm months.
Musicians, dancers, craft vendors, and sword fighters form an unrestricted celebration that represents Montreal's acceptance of spontaneous artistic expression.
The free event occurs every Sunday from April through October, allowing participants to bring instruments, blankets, and food to the outdoor location.
Medieval enthusiasts engage in simulated battles behind the monument while drum circles form patterns across the surrounding grass areas.
