As the summer sadly comes to an end, Montrealers are taking advantage of the fleeting warm and sunny days while they're still here.

As months of clothes layering and isolation in our homes loom ahead of us, I know I am not the only person in the city that is feeling pressure to get out and enjoy these last few weeks of summer.

There is always so much to do in Montreal and this weekend is no exception. From food festivals, to the peak of Montreal pride to even playing real-life Mario Kart, this weekend has the potential to be one to remember.

Thankfully, according to The Weather Network, it should be sunny and mild by Sunday!

Here are the events and activities to check out!
