If it wasn’t for the big ol’ dumptruck’s worth of snow that fell on the city this week, we might be thinking the first day of spring is here... or at least close enough. Sadly, and yet unsurprisingly, the weather here sucks Youpi’s furry orange nuts most months of the year.
That said, we’re not without hope. And though we may still be nursing hangovers from Nuit Blanche’s pilot project of nearly two dozen bars staying open until 6 a.m., we’ve still got the energy to enjoy anything and everything there is to see and do this weekend. With everything from 1980s goth parties, Ukraine fundraisers full of blini, the Pink Floyd exhibition that’s actually pretty impressive, sugar shack events—there’s a lot to do in Montreal this weekend, so take your pick.
