A blend of fashion and free refreshments is sweeping into Montreal this weekend. A lime-coloured "Call It Spring" truck showcasing the season's hottest styles will find a temporary home on rue Sainte-Catherine near the Eaton Centre in downtown Montreal.

On August 4 to 6, the 100% vegan brand promises an immersive retail experience for fashion enthusiasts and the budget-conscious. Visitors to the truck between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. can expect a different kind of shopping experience. Those looking for style suggestions can keep an eye out for the Gretchen, Major, Refresh, and Wildwest — the brand's top picks of the season.

In a bid to encourage further exploration of their collection, Call It Spring will provide each visitor to the truck with a 25% off code. The discount is applicable to the brand's new collection and can be redeemed both in-store and online.

The pop-up promises more than just a sartorial spectacle, though. Call It Spring plans to treat Montrealers to vegan sorbets from local vendors. The tasty perk is available on a first-come, first-served basis and only while supplies last.

In a time when consumer habits are fast changing, and the line between online and offline retail is increasingly blurred, Montrealers can get a taste of an innovative hybrid shopping model right in the heart of the city.

Here's why some Montrealers aren't happy about Quebec's new retail hours law

Starting next week, stores in Quebec can stay open much later on weekends.

When you should actually take off your winter tires in Quebec, according to a meteorologist

"Snow is still possible into the end of March and even into April."

Montreal stores can stay open later starting this month (even on Sundays)

Quebec is one of the only places in North America that still legislates store opening hours.

'Quebec poutine cheese' could soon get a special designation to protect the squeak
