12 Things To Do In Montreal This Weekend

Bye bye August!
Reporter

As the saying goes, "everybody is working for the weekend" and it's one of the most truthful sayings there ever was. We all work so hard during the week, meaning we need to make the most of our short but oh so important weekends. And, with all the things to do in Montreal this weekend, I don't doubt that your Friday to Sunday will be filled with good times.

It's officially the last weekend of August and although the summer is coming to an end, that doesn't mean that our city is anywhere close to slowing down.

The air may be feeling a little crisper and it may be getting darker earlier, but the fun in Montreal is never-ending and this weekend is no different.

From brunching for a good cause and tasting decadent poutines and delicious matcha lattes, there's something to tickle everyone's fancy.

The choice of what to do this weekend is entirely up to you, all we hope is that you enjoy yourself.

Remember, before we know it, the snow will be here, so it's time to take advantage of the sun while it's here!
