If the title hasn't given it away already, this issue's gonna feel like you just got wrapped in the softest blanket ever.
The sun’s out, the nights are long, and Montreal’s running on pure solstice energy this weekend: The Clock Tower Beach is reopening, there's a vinyl market with pizza, garden circus acts, sensory theatre in total darkness, country line dancing with a skyline view, partying among half a million flowers at Parc Jean-Drapeau—it's a big weekend.
But it’s also a big weekend for the city’s indie scene: new art openings, DJ nights, vernissages, and block parties. So many block parties. Add in a few anniversaries (shoutout to Bar Vinvinvin, CRISP, and Bonheur d’occasion’s disco trattoria moment), and you’ve got the recipe for a very busy few days. Choose wisely!
