Here is the homepage of the festival...in French. However, if you use Firefox browser (and maybe Explorer), if you right click on the page when it opens, look down until you see "page info". There should be a little tool that will translate the page (and ultimately the entire website) into English for you. If oyu are just looking for history of the celebration, that is on wikipedia in English.

There is a good reason why you won't find anything about the St Jean Baptiste Festival in Montreal in English. It is organized by the Société St-Jean-Baptiste whose mission in life is to promote French in Quebec and ban and fight everything that is English. Quite honestly, it is not a celebration for Anglos to enjoy and most of them hit the summer cottage during the event.
