1. See a Broadway show.
Directly from Broadway, Mean Girls is a hilarious hit musical. Brought to stage by an award-winning creative team, including writer Tina Fey and choreographer Casey Nicholaw (from The Book of Mormon). Various shows throughout the weekend.
2. Celebrate books.
Authors and lovers of literature from the world over are gathering for the 27th edition of the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival. This year’s edition presents more than 160 authors and artists, including the iconic Salman Rushdie.
3. Surround yourself in architecture.
Immersive Architecture Essays is a compilation of five award-winning short films by director Sergey Prokofyev. These films offer a 360-degree immersion into the future of architectural design. At the Society for Arts and Technology. (Tip: enjoy a 10% discount at Pavillon, the onsite bistro upon presentation of your ticket.)
4. Cheer the hometown team.
Montréal loves hockey. And because the local team, the Montréal Canadiens, has qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the city is in full “hockey mode.” The team plays two home games this weekend at the Bell Centre (Friday and Sunday). Getting tickets might require miracles, but you can always watch the game with the locals at one of these sports bars…

In Montréal, the plant-based culinary scene is booming. Whether you are a committed vegetarian, a passionate vegan, or simply curious to discover new flavours, the city is brimming with restaurants and cafes that will delight your taste buds. Here are some of our top picks!
