Saint-Jean-Baptiste is back. Quebec’s National Day will see most of the province shut down as revelers gather to celebrate the beautiful province.

In Montreal, several establishments will remain open and certain city services will be maintained. But many purveyors of essential holiday supplies and liquid fun will close.

Here’s what’s open and closed in Montreal for National Day.
