We’re coming out of our second hibernation |
We haven’t stayed indoors this much since winter, Montréal. It’s time to reemerge, rejuvenate and rediscover our city—slowly and safely—and to show the city some love by exploring its streets and supporting its local businesses, artisans, and the makers and shakers we know and love. Time In is Time Out again. | | |

Get out of the city with the best scenic drives from Montréal |
|
From panoramic excursions to quick—but breathtaking!—escapes, it’s time to get out there and explore mountains, beaches, vineyards, orchards and more on the open road. Forget the roads riddled with potholes, traffic jams and the city’s endless construction with a full tank of gas and this curated selection of trips to take. | |

What to check out this month |
|
Anytime Montréal’s Jazz Festival has gone online |
The biggest festivals that we look forward to every year have had to get creative in light of cancellations, and the Jazz Fest is no different. They recently wrapped up a series of online performances, and all of them are online right now. |
The best of the rest: |
Montréal’s new drive-in theatre ICYMI, that giant development project at the end of the Orange Line, the Royalmount Drive-In Theatre, is now running a range of movie screenings. Bonus points go to the other events they have coming up, like Just For Laughs performances.
The Phi Centre’s new rooftop venue Down in Old Montréal, one of the best galleries and museums in town has turned its rooftop into a new space for live performances—all part of a DJ and musician series called Sonication—and every performance is free.
Murals, live art and DJ sets Festivals aren’t permitted right now, so Mural Festival is now Mural Estival (see what they did there?)—artists will continue to paint our city’s walls, and the new format includes streamed art, DJ performances with cocktails, and more. | | |
