What's more to love this weekend is that it's officially Osheaga time! This massive international festival brings a whole lot of attention and tourist to the city, in other words, the streets of Montreal will be pulsing with fun this weekend. Whether you dread the festival or embrace it, there is something to do for everyone.
Hopefully, the weather will be in our favor. Looks like it's going to be a hot one! So - as always, don't forget to have fun, and stay hydrated!
