What started out in a small club in Barbados a few years ago, Nouvelle Vie’s creation of the RISE brand has quickly expanded to stadium-sized concerts across the Caribbean; from Barbados to St. Vincent, Grenada, and now here in Montréal, Canada.

Taste of the Caribbean in a returning co-presentation with Nouvelle Vie, and in co-production with JPM Events and 514Promo, present the ‘RISE MONTREAL CONCERT SERIES’ on July 9-12^th, 2026 at the Old-Port of Montreal. After its inaugural edition back in 2025, this year’s event will be hosted inside the Taste of the Caribbean‘s own ‘Concert Zone’ in collaboration with Red Stripe.

The concert series feature an intimate full-scale production of international artists from the Caribbean within the following themed nights:

Thursday – RISE Creole
Friday – RISE Latin
Saturday – RISE Reggae
Sunday – RISE Soca

Artists from the province of Quebec and across Canada will also be performing.
