You know how we waxed poetic last week about the "official" end of summer? Nah son, turns out that's ridiculous.
Just like how you can catch people wearing their August evening best as they bar hop in -25 degree weather along St. Laurent Boulevard, a sun setting earlier on the city hasn't made a dent in how active we are and can be.
CORRIDOR Festival, MAPP_MTL, POP Montreal, Gallery Weekend — all of that's on the menu, events so big that they dress the cityscape in art for one hot minute of a weekend. Much like those new neighbours of yours in the Plateau who want to make it as big as EDM DJs, the music doesn't stop for a second in this town.
