Canadian Grand Prix, 2008 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

While the World Cup gets underway in another part of the world, Montreal will come alive the weekend of June 12th and 13th for the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix.

And Montreal is psyched to have the Grand Prix return to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after its hiatus last year. After 30 years, the Canadian Grand Prix was dropped in 2009 from the Formula One line up to make way for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Late last year however, Canada signed a five year deal with Formula One to bring it back starting this year. Abu Dhabi has been moved to later in the schedule, for this year’s complete line up visit the Forumla 1 site.

Montreal will be humming with people from all over the world to see the Grand Prix as well as to experience the fun and nightlife that the city offers. If you’re headed there, check out Go Montreal for insights on what to do, where to dine and where to party.
