We’re just a few days away from the start of the Montreal High Lights Festival or as it’s known in its native tongue, Montréal en Lumière. As one of the largest winter festivals, you can expect to find art, music, free outdoor family activities and, of course, great food.

Taste the festival with the Experience Lumiere package. You’ll sample meals from San Francisco chefs as they do battle with their French Canadian counterparts. The package also includes one night’s accommodation with breakfast, a ticket for a concert in the Music Evenings series, a discount coupon for a tasting of Haitian fingers foods prepared by Casserole Kréole on the Place des Arts esplanade, a coupon for a wine & cheese tasting at SAQ Bistro on the Place des Arts esplanade, as well as a festival scarf and gift bag.

Rates start at just $169 a night to join 900,000 fans at the festival from February 20 through March 2, 2014. To book, call 855-864-3737 or go online.
