Here are 16 things to do in Montreal this weekend! Montreal's winter activity schedule is reaching its peak, with several festivals and events set to open for the season. Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. After a long week of work, there is nothing more soothing than sailing into Friday and taking some free time to experience everything that the metropolis has to offer. Instead of chilling out at home, I strongly advise that you leave your comfort zone and dive into one of the many cool things to do in Montreal this weekend. From world-famous DJs spinning at after-hour clubs and outdoor music festivals to vintage streetwear flea markets and karaoke mini-putt, our city has got everyone covered. Montreal's diversity and thriving cultural scene is on full display through the excessive number of activities going on this weekend. Test your dancing skills at Igloofest or your stomach's capacity at Happening Gourmand! Yes, it is cold out but that has never stopped us before! Don't let the icy sidewalks keep you from going outside and having a blast. The city winter activity schedule is approaching its busiest period. There's plenty to occupy your brain and distract you from the cold.
