5 sens; 1 lieu

Performers from last year's festival
This weekend, the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood is hosting its sixth annual street festival, entitled '5 continents, 5 sens'. The event takes place along chemin de la Côte-des-neiges from noon-5pm, Sunday, September 7. Its theme this year highlights historic trades and craftspeople and will feature an artisans village, a shuttle tour of historic sites and street sales. In the words of the organizers, it is "[u]n événement festif visant à rassembler le milieu des affaires et le milieu communautaire afin de célébrer la richesse culturelle, communautaire, économique et sociale du quartier Côte-des-Neiges".
The event is organized in collaboration with some of the many Côte-des-Neiges’ community organizations and members of the business community and will likely be a nice contrast to Montreal's many corporate-sponsored summer festivals. Festivities take place from Thursday September 4 2008 to Sunday September 7 2008, Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, (514) 968-9592. Take the metro or bus to Côte-des-Neiges station. More info is available here.

Thanks for the heads up, Jacob! For some reason I missed the publicity for this. My neighbourhood isn't the hip Plateau or even Mile End, but I love its multi-culti ambience. (Try to ignore the current "perpetual construction" ambience along a long stretch of chemin de la CDN at the moment.)
