9 Montreal Events to Look Forward to This September

Fall is coming.

And will those three words seem to be causing an influx of sad faces around the city, we say, worry not; we’re here to lighten the mood.

As sad as summer coming to an end is, the launch of fall brings on a whole slew of new and amazing events that will keep you busy all the way until October.

So to avoid any end-of-summer-depression, you should start filling your social calendar ahead of time with these 9 Montreal events:

Wonderball
On Friday, September 18, over 500 community leaders between the ages of 25 and 45 from the medical, corporate, and artistic realms will come together to celebrate St. Mary’s in an unprecedented fashion at the 2nd Annual Wonder Ball. Think red carpet, open bar, fancy digs, and a fantastic charitable cause.

Red Bull Boite à Savon Soap Box Derby
On Sunday, September 6th, Red Bull will host a four-wheeled, human-powered challenge in Montreal’s Square Victoria for the first time (after having toured more than 46 other countries). This is a unique, fun, and non-motorized racing event that challenges participants to build outlandish, human-powered soapbox dream machines to compete against other teams in a downhill race.

Matinee A La Plage
