Even though summer will be coming to an end, Montrealers will still be able to enjoy an outdoor event that's been waiting to return to the Parc Olympique for far too long.

Les Premiers Vendredis (First Fridays) is finally back this fall and will bring more than 30 food trucks from Montreal's most beloved restaurants.
