5 Fun things to do this weekend in Montréal! (Feb 7 - 9)

It’s February! And Montréal is swinging into the month with plenty of things to do and see: live music, art, theatre, food, and more. Have a wonderful weekend!
To enjoy the best the city has to offer during your stay, please don't think of yourself as a tourist, but as one of us. Whether you're here for a few days, a few weeks or a few years, we're counting on you to enjoy Montréal in a spirit of respect, responsibility and celebration! Here's an article on our “Promise for a sustainable stay” detailing how you can enjoy your stay.

Celebrate Black History Month.
February marks the 34th anniversary of Black History Month in Montréal, and this year’s edition features a full slate of theatre, film screenings, musical concerts and other cultural events. This weekend see live music at Club Balattou, expositions at TOHU, art at MAQUIS YASOLO, and more.

Experience a Nordic adventure.
Montréal Boréal - Le Jam du Nord is a winter pedestrian party, taking place in the Saint-Henri neighbourhood. During this celebration of the beauty and magic of the winter, the program will feature live music, a variety of family and sports activities, enchanting winter decor, and outdoor furniture.

Explore transformative art.
Globally acclaimed Montréal artist Jana Sterbak has explored power, desire, and the fragility of existence, in works that frequently incorporate unconventional materials. See her work this weekend at Corpus Insolite, happening at Musée des Hospitalières. Sterbak’s internationally recognized “Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorectic,” (the so-called meat dress) will be re-made for this exhibition.
4. Relive the magic of the Titanic.
When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the Oscar-winning blockbuster film Titanic, you get Titanique. It’s off-Broadway’s most award-winning splash hit, which turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia. Happening at the Segal Theatre.

5. Satisfy your cheese craving.
There’s nothing more comforting in the winter than biting into a grilled cheese sandwich, tucking into a gooey mac and cheese, or indulging in a stringy raclette. Cheese has a way of satisfying the soul that other foods don’t quite match. Montréal has fantastic cheese shops. Your challenge this weekend? Visit three of them!
