Guys, we did it! We made it! It's finally June, which means three things. One, we're officially six months into 2017; we actually made it through the first half of the year!

The second thing is that... it's finally, literally summer. I know it might seem like Mother Nature hasn't gotten the memo just yet, but trust, June is the first official month of summer and she'll shape up. She'll get the hint. She's got to. I, for one, cannot handle another day of sunshine/rain/sunshine/snow.
And the third thing? Well, the third thing that June in Montreal brings is... a whole ton of fun, free things to do.
And by free things, I don't mean, like, chilling in a park with a bottle of wine and and a picnic basket. Although, I mean, that's kind of my personal favourite thing to do in the summer. Grass, sunshine, wine, and food? There's no bigger win in my book.
But I know you guys. I've been doing these free things lists for about two years at this point, and I've learned you guys want something a little extra.
Art exhibits, free museums, live music, and Fete Nationale (which is June 24, just in case for some reason you've forgotten) are all on the docket this month. And trust, June 2017 in Montreal looks like one seriously fun - seriously inexpensive! - time.
