La Ronde (lit. 'The Round') is an amusement park located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was originally built as the entertainment complex for Expo 67, the 1967 world's fair. Today, it is operated by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, under an emphyteutic lease with the City of Montreal until 2065. In-addition to being the Six Flags chain's northernmost location, La Ronde is the largest amusement park in Quebec and the second-largest in Canada (behind Canada's Wonderland, which became a sister in 2024 after Six Flags merged with Cedar Fair).[1]
La Ronde occupies 59 hectares (146 acres) of the northern tip of Saint Helen's Island, situated on a man-made extension to the landmass; the park is in the vicinity of where the smaller, adjacent Ronde Island had once been (the origin of the park's name). The park hosts the annual Montreal Fireworks Festival, an international fireworks competition. Prior to Cedar Fair's merger with Six Flags, La Ronde was one of only two Six Flags properties, along with Frontier City in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that were not officially branded as Six Flags parks.
