Montreal’s officially entered its “let’s do something” season, and the city’s waking up in layers: museum galleries are turning into dance floors, coffee nerds are going head-to-head in latte art battles, and courtyard readings are being paired with BYOB wine.
Maynard is back with a new plant-based deli, Bar Mamie is firing up kebabs for the season, Crèmerie Meetha is scooping again—plenty of things to make you feel alive. That includes a mega jam along the canal, a juried art show hitting its 130th edition, and a new mini putt setup in the Old Port—with views, no less.
From art to food to full-on community energy, this week feels like a turning point.

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