    The Bulletin: Cheers to spring, here's where to grab your next drink 🍸 [Issue #72]

    The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.

    With a solid few summery days of sun and a celestial, once-in-at-least-a-half-century total eclipse at our backs, it feels like the city's riding so high that it's trying to outdo itself already.

    Freak snowstorms are out, and blissful optimism is in. We've put on the blinders to the disjecta of trash and dust of the streets, and we're all itching to find out what's next.

    No jokes: Grand Prix events are already being announced, festival lineups are getting announced, a grand total of 11 major arteries in Montreal will be pedestrianized—you name it, we are here for it. Events, events, events.

    Some of us here at The Main are taking the low and slow approach. We're deeming 2024 to be the year of Self-Care Summer™, where you take things easy and do exactly what feels most rejuvenating to you after a long and bleak series of tough months. Spend time outside, make a sick playlist, focus on physical and mental well-being, be with people you care about, and actually say no to stuff now and then.
