This city is marvelous. I might be a bit biased... I guess I'm technically still in the honeymoon period of my love affair with Montréal!
I guess I just find it amazing that every time I speak to someone who has lived here (usually a lot) longer than I have, they're telling me about a festival or an event that I should keep an eye out for.
This week it's the "Festival Montréal en Lumière," running from February 18 to 28. Tonight is the festival kickoff and I'll be heading down to Quai Jacques Cartier in the Old Port, to take in the festivities and be transfixed by Malajube's melodies - they play at 20h00 tonight. I'm bringing along my old roomie, her mother and sister, who are visiting from France, so it should be a good time.
The festival hosts a very wide variety of events and attractions. I'm hoping I'll find time to check out some of the free events (don't judge, I'm unemployed!). I'm aiming to visit the Leonard Cohen Artworks exhibit, The SAQ Bistro for some tasty treats (wine, roasting marshmallows and sausages), as well as the BMO Ferris Wheel and The Giant Labyrinth - I'm a sucker for some childhood fun!
I'll make sure to bring my camera and report back!
