Hot on the heels of my little Grand Prix preview, here's a quick note on Montreal's "wackiest" festival. I'm talking, of course, about the St Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival .
About 100 different shows, varying from modern dance to standup comedy, stopping off at the undescribably bizarre along the way. This festival is "un-curated". This means that rather than proposing a show ...
Wow - it's upon us already. The weekend where tourists flood Crescent Street bars and locals get as far away from downtown as possible. Okay, that makes the whole thing sound bad, doesn't it? Not so, but it's certainly not a week for the faint-of-heart.

What makes this exhibition even more astonishing are the positions of the bodies performing ...

Ah St-Patrick's Day.
It's probably the only holiday that will allow you to drink in the streets, bar hop, and kiss strangers in broad daylight. Ok, maybe not the kissing the strangers part, but there's a possibility for people to be drunk, so who knows!
Every year, Montreal's Irish community organizes one of the most popular parades which is, of course, the St-Patrick's Day parade. The route stretches for the most part ...
