Lights, cameras, and a whole lotta action: Big stage performances featuring the return of Just for Laughs(!), film festivals, big-name acts, and not one but three occasions to eat burgers are all taking place this weekend.
At the same time, we're not just looking at what's happening on the streets, but what's happening off of them as well. We've got our fair share of alternative culture and festivities, live music returning to the alleyways of Hochelaga for the seventh year running, and a deep dive into the history of the city's ruelles vertes detailed below. Oh, and a national stone carving festival with film noir being screened along the canal because why not?
Enjoy.

Activities, parties, points of interest, art exhibitions, you name it: These are the weekend events you don't want to miss.
