The only thing that's harder to believe than the fact that it's already the weekend again is that it's already March. With spring weather looking up, there are loads of things to get up to welcome the new month with open arms.
And while it may feel like this year and this winter are going by so fast, there's still lots of time to soak up the Montreal fun, and we've got you covered on some stellar things to do in Montreal this weekend.

Go On A Winter Hike
Why You Need To Go: The countdown to spring is officially on, which means you've only got a few weeks left to go on a winter hike before you have to wait until next season. With so many Montreal parks offering some stunning landscapes, and an array of hiking spots just outside the city, you really can't go wrong with a good 'ole weekend hike.
Visit Tommy's New Location In The West Island

Go Skating On Montreal's Massive New Rink
Price: Free admission - $10.87 skate rental

Get Some Luminothérapie
