The title says it all.
There are so many fresh feasts and beats this weekend that we're wondering how difficult it'll be to dance and eat at the same time, and getting ready with this bar dropped by Mick Jenkins in their song Vibe:
I been in the 514, French gettin to clean, customs is routine, eatin' hella poutine
I think I might buy one more
As per Montreal tradition, it's summertime, so the festivals are far from over. But if you're still feeling exhausted from last week's heatwave and/or don't want to deal with the crush of crowds, we've sprinkled in a bunch of easy-going events with chiller vibes here as well.
Hope that's not the case though, as we here at The Main hope you'll join us this Sunday at the 2.5km-long Pride Parade. This year’s theme is “We Are The Rainbow!” and this year’s Grand Marshals are RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 winner Sasha Colby and Franco-Tunisian soccer player Ouissem Belgacem.
