Italians do it best, as the saying goes, and you'll be able to put that statement to the test as you experience all things Italian during Montreal's Italian Week 2014. A celebration of Italian culture, be sure to expect lots of food, cool music and art shows, along with a lot of loud people talking with their hands. That's just how Italians roll.

Running from August 8-17th, Italian Week will be predominately based in Little Italy, as you'd expect. St. Laurent from St. Zotique to Jean Talon (map) will be blocked off, becoming a full-on pedestrian zone, and outfitted with a stage, terrasses, and a few cool exhibitions.
