The Bulletin: Festival Season is Officially upon Us [Issue #26]

Festivals beginning. Line-ups announced. Street closures. Reunion tours. Revved engines. 30 degree weather that’s about a month early. That guy popping off bottle rockets in the middle of Jarry Park at 4 a.m. (you know who you are!).

There is a moment during what the calendar calls spring in Montreal that preemptively becomes summer. Call it a vibe, or a switch we flip unconsciously in our collective head: We shed layers, we grab roadies from deps, we strike up conversations with strangers, and suddenly everything gets a whole lot sexier.

That’s all in keeping with this week’s news, as events have expanded to include (gasp!) Thursdays and our stories largely point to how we could be more or how we’re doing more. There's so much happening on Sunday alone that you may need to clear your calendars entirely.
