There will be special bus in function for the fireworks events
http://www.rtcquebec.ca/NewCustomer/NewCustomer/tabid/272/Default.aspx
I live in Quebec and only heard praise for those who take the bus during these event.

The cost is 15 $ for the show. see

I agree, that the bike  is beautyful ride and is about 12 km, but at the end of the evening, you must ride back the 12 km. Also a fanstastic ride, if the temperature and time permit.

No it's not. You need to go by bike, by car, or by bus. More details here:

If you go by bus, you need to take the bus at the Place D'Youville terminal.

If you like bicycling, I would *highly* recommend going by bike. It's a
super nice ride on a paved bicycle trail alongside the river. It will
provide you with 100% freedom, zero stress, and you skip all traffic.

Two shops where you can rent bikes:
http://www.cycloservices.net/
http://www.ecolocyclo.net/

Both are within walking distance of the convention centre and are
situated at the start of the bicycle trail.
