The team behind Montreal's MR-63 Pavilion a food and culture venue made of old metro cars that's set to open in 2025 has released new renderings, giving us a better sense of what the space will look like once it's complete.
Montreal in August is a sea of orange cones, as construction season drags on. But behind the dust and detours lies a pot of cultural gold. You may not find a rainbow at the end of the roadworks, but you will find a full spectrum of Pride events. There's also Orientalys, a melting pot of diverse flavours to tease your palate, and the Scottish Highland Games, with kilts and caber tosses. And let's not forget the epic Italian heritage celebration, taking you through the heart of the Mediterranean without leaving the city. So while your GPS may be working overtime with all the reroutes, your calendar is about to get a serious workout too. Here are some of the most exciting events of the month.
Montreal's Griffintown is cooking up a cultural transformation, turning retired STM train cars into a premier dining spot. But don't be fooled by the appetizers on the menu right now those are just the first course. The MR-63 project, set to hit full steam by 2024, plans to create a thriving hub of art, sustainability, and heritage.
