Another summer weekend, another reason to ignore your inbox—except when this newsletter arrives, of course.
Why? Montreal’s packing in the goods: pedestrian parties, outdoor jazz, spicy festivals, tattoo brunches, surfboard sales, and one very chaotic motorized wheelchair race over in Hochelaga. Dance on a terrasse, dive into Film Noir, or ball out on a pop-up dinner/art show that everyone’s talking about—whatever you're feeling this weekend, there’s something going down in every corner of the city, and something's gotta pique your interest.
Also—if you’ve ever read, shared, or supported The Main, this part’s for you: We’re throwing our first-ever block party next weekend, so consider this notice your last reminder to get on the list.
