Sunday night street party, Little Italy, Montreal

Montréal's Little Italy prepared for Sunday's Euro Cup quarter finals, the long boulevard of cafés decorated and equipped with extra big screens.

Crowds fill every seat to watch with rapt attention...

and Italy wins 4-2 on a penalties. The street erupts! Young men pile into a truck...

 

Champagne is "served",

The mood is giddy, friendly, infectious.

But one had his own sweet dreams

and another was undeterred from his Sunday hobby.

But it never hurts wear a party dress

  
or a smile

 

when your neighbourhood turns into a raucous celebration on a soft summer evening.
