A special word
St. James United Church has been part of Montreal’s story for 223 years—first in Old Montreal and now in the heart of today’s downtown. Spiritually, culturally, socially, and musically, we’ve always been at the centre of city life. Many renowned singers and musicians got their start right here at St. James.
SoulFest is a beautiful continuation of that rich musical tradition. We’re proud to be part of this incredible festival that touches so many—musicians, singers, locals, and visitors—and we’re deeply grateful to Le Balcon for making it all possible.
SoulFest doesn’t just celebrate soul music—it celebrates the soul of Montreal.
We’re thrilled to welcome you once again to St. James Square.
