What to check out this month |
 |
|
Sept 9-19 Take a cocktail crawl across the city |
|
More than 25 Montréal bars are participating in this year’s edition of Invasion Cocktail’s massive mixology festival. Grab a free passport for 20% off exclusive drink menus, attend in-person bartending classes, and hit up a one-night-only pop-up bar in Griffintown. If you’d rather stay home but you’re still thirsty, there are virtual workshops that come with cocktail kits delivered directly to your door. |

The best of the rest: |
Today-Sept 5 Last chance to experience SAT Fest: The Société des arts technologiques is screening seven short, mind-bending films in its 360-degree spherical projection room (plus a dinner-and-a-movie option from Labo Culinaire). It’s escapism at its finest.
Sept 8-13 Get digital with MUTEK’s music fest and interactive art gallery: MUTEK’s hybrid festival will combine in-person performances with an all-new livestreaming platform. Explore more than 100 artists’ worth of music, see visuals in an interactive art gallery, and enjoy escaping into one alternate dimension after another.
Sept 9-13 Walk through Artch’s open gallery in the heart of downtown: 19 visual artists and three performing artists, all contemporary and emerging on the scene, will be gathering at an open-air pop-up art gallery in Dorchester Square daily from noon to 7pm. Time to get out there, explore and support the work of artists—all of their work will be for sale too. | |

Grab some crafty pints as you chow down on huge piles of the best poutine in town, and enjoy it to the very last last drop and bite. It’s the perfect place to forget that 2020 sucks.
