![The Bulletin: Falling 210 feet in the Old Port, double-decker pub crawls, and back alley birthdays [Issue #126]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2025/04/67.jpg)
It’s one of those weeks where Montreal feels like five cities at once.
You’ve got Salman Rushdie headlining Blue Met, Arabic club nights shaking Ausgang Plaza, and someone willingly jumping off a 210-foot tower over the St. Lawrence. Martha Wainwright’s marking 20 years since her debut album. A new Vietnamese ghost kitchen is slinging bánh mì inside a manga café. Foufs is hosting three straight days of Oi! Fest. And that’s just the warm-up.
VV Taverna’s throwing one last no-cover party before moving out. Projet Mill is turning one with a jazz jam and jungle DJ set in Pointe-Saint-Charles. There’s a massive vinyl fair in a church, a snow crab soirée at Le Central, and a tiki rum launch that may or may not lead to a dancefloor. Oh—and if you haven’t tried soup and dumplings at Bangluck yet, now’s the time.
