Not because we don't have any awesome events or super fun things to do, because there is something fun going down in this city literally every single day. Nope, I'm blaming the suspicious lack of summer vibes on one thing: the weather.
TBH, it's kind of difficult to drink sangria on a terrasse when it might just start pouring rain at any second. But no worries! That was June. We're now in July, which is when the true summer fun begins in Montreal.
This month, there are a whole bunch of super fun, free things to in Montreal, including a whole lot of festivals, sidewalk sales, celebrations, and tons more! So, friends, prepare to finally live out summer in all of its glory.
