      Photograph: Croissound

      Ah, the Easter long weekend. Four days off means four chances to lean into your best self: Someone who goes to book fairs and brunches, raves until sunrise, eats pizza with DJs, and maybe—just maybe—sheds a tear while watching Mulholland Drive.

      Everything’s open, everyone’s out, and your group chat is already fracturing under the weight of too many plans. Whether you’re raising a glass to resurrection, renewal, or just a rare Monday off, this edition’s got you covered with art shows, techno parties, long-table dinners, and exactly one buttery croissant DJ session.


      Activities, parties, points of interest, art exhibitions, you name it: These are the weekend events you don't want to miss.

      Thursday

      🎵 Pavillon hosts Montreal electronic pioneer Soundshaper for an evening of drinks, food, and genre-bending DJ sets designed to keep the dancefloor moving.
