Summer isn't over yet people!! Though it may feel like it because of the weather, there's still an entire weekend left to feel those carefree vibes of summer.

Montreal prides itself on being an artistic and cultural city and one of the ways we display this is through our summer festivals. This city has so many cultural food and art festivals that really show us just how great Montreal really is.

When summer hits, Montreal absolutely transforms. When this city shows a little sun, it's time for drinks, tunes, and some serious parties. But there is one event that absolutely owns each and every year - and that is the Mural Festival!
 
The Mural Festival is now in its 5th edition, and like every other year, it will be absolutely off the hook. This year,  the Mural Festival takes over St. Lawrence Boulevard from June 8th to June 18th with awesome street art installations and live murals, music, exhibitions, conferences and an art fair (for those who want to take some of the amazingness home with them!).
  
But this year the Mural Festival is getting EVEN BIGGER - not only is it expanding its size and heading out to Old Montreal, it’s getting louder with FOUR free kickass block parties, and the Mural Festival is open til late with over 11 epic after parties at the MURAL Art Pub. 

But what about the music? This year there will be four free-of-charge outdoor music events across two massive weekends. This year, they will be located in the main redeveloped area on St. Laurent Boulevard. This means you’ll not only be able to see the shows in the main parking lot used by MURAL - but you’re allowed to drink on St. Laurent Boulevard (between Milton and Prince Arthur). There's some serious fun to be had there!

Honestly, one of my absolute favourite things about summer in Montreal is that pretty much everyone comes together to have a seriously awesome time.

The summer may be coming to an end, but Montreal's enthusiasm for outdoors parties has far from faded. Taking place from August 20-23, The Flavours of Monkland Festival will take over 7 blocks of Monkland Avenue to bring you the biggest block party that Montreal has ever seen.

You can expect live music, tons of food trucks and plenty of local Montrealers selling things at merchant stands. And possibly the best part is that the party is completely free. Last year there were about 200,000 people at the Flavours of Monkland Fest, so if it's even anything close to that, it's going to be one epic party. Also, it's being put on by the same people who brought you Monkland's Grand Prix event, so if you went to that (and know just how amazing it was) then you know that anyone who goes to this is in for a good time.

Summer is here and that means one thing, It's going to be hot out. Okay maybe it means more than one thing, quite a few things actually. One of the things worth mentioning other than the heat is The Official Terrasse Launch Block Party which is taking over St-Dennis street on May 22-23rd.

Several streets, in the Quartier Latin area will be closed off so all the terrasses  can take the spotlight and officially open to the public. There will also be a ton of activities including: Mini-Putt, rock climbing, organized games, live mural creation and several kiosques and live musical performances brought to you by the organizers of Osheaga.
