THIS WEEKEND IN MONTREAL (AUGUST 20 TO 22)

Posted by

This weekend’s forecast calls for a relaxed 25˚C (that 77˚F to our American friends). It’s going to be sunny and mild — the perfect kind of weather for roaming the cobblestone streets, tucking into bistros for glasses of beer and watching the world go by.

However, if you’re a “do’er”, we’ve got nine fantastic things “to do” this weekend in Montreal!

[concert] GREEN DAY – After 20 years on the scene, I think we can safely declare that these boys from Berkley are punk rock legends. They’ll be gettin’ Montrealers moshing on Saturday night. Join the disorder!

[restaurant] EUROPEA – The past winner of a Grand Prix du Tourisme Québécois, which essentially a highly regarded tourism Oscar, this downtown restaurant offers “intuitive and inventive” cuisine. And if you have a bit more time, and are feeling adventurous, why not take one of their cooking classes? Consult with the schedule for all the details!

Made in Montreal or not? It’s your guess!

[musical theater] CATS – One of the longest running shows in musical theater history is hissing in Montreal this weekend. With only four shows in total, you’ll want to grab tickets ASAP if you want a slice of this pussy action.
