 The MAXIMA softball league is pleased to invite you to its annual tournament. A proud new member of the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Association (NAGAAA), our league is set to host a top-notch event up to NAGAAA’s high standards. So come discover (or rediscover) Montreal in all its summer glory, with its myriad festivals, hip restaurants, vibrant nightlife and lively gay scene that make it one of the world’s top gay destinations.

Montreal welcomes over a million gay and lesbian tourists each year. Extending over 15 city blocks, its Village includes a wide range of bars, cafes, patios, bath houses, discos with top DJs, sex clubs, erotic dancers, hip restaurants, as well as a major hotel. In other words, there’s something for everybody!

Maxima will be hosting its 11th annual tournament on the best fields the city has to offer: Parc Lafontaine, Parc Laurier and Centre Claude Robillard. All of these parks are just a few minutes from the Gay Village. 

PARC LAFONTAINE 

Montreal’s premiere downtown park, Parc Lafontaine
is a thriving, peaceful, family-oriented, gay-friendly place – just like Montreal itself!

PARC LAURIER

You can see the end of Parc Lafontaine at the top left of this picture. Our two parks are just a 10-minute walk away.
