The leaves have turned into shades of red, yellow, and brown. Now that we’ve welcomed a new season, it’s time for our carefully-curated list of Montreal activities. Many of you have been patiently waiting for Autumn’s arrival. This summer was a hot one and though we can’t complain, it’s somewhat of a relief to have cooler, crisper air bestow us.

Without further ado, we present to you 20 awesome things to do in Montreal this October:

1. Fun & Games

Montreal’s first ever Salon Jeux et Loisirs will be taking place on October 6 and October 7 at Place Bonaventure. Bring the family for fun activities like board games, video games, and more!
