Sidewalk sales around town

st-hubert street sale
Another Saturday, another overwhelming list of things going on about town...

Saint-Hubert is having a sidewalk sale this weekend and ball-gowns are on special, among other more practical deals (even on a regular day, most Saint-Hubert shops fall into I-suspect-this-was-manufactured-by-slaves price range, although to be fair, its mostly the same brands available elsewhere for more). You might want to save this visit for a rainy Sunday since the plaza's awnings provide at least a little shelter.

Meanwhile the Grand Débarras brings local designers and eco-chic styles to a down-and-out area of Hochelaga Maisonneuve (Sainte Catherine between Letourneux et Bennett, metro Pie-IX). It's a spot that I've gotten to know a little since the Dans la Rue van has added a stop in front of parc Morgan last spring. Being familiar with the late-night curb-side crowd, I'm curious to see how the same area looks in the light of day.

It's also the second round of the Journée des bons voisins on Saint-Viateur, and the artsy markets I mentioned last week are still on.

If you get a chance, see 'Elixir' at Place des Festivals. It's on a break during the film festival but will return Sept. 8 to Oct. 9.

More amazing work from Moment Factory.

Also, 'Dansons dans le metro' on Sunday was fun! They had hip hop at Bonaventure, African at Berri-UQAM, Country at Place des Arts and Salsa at St Laurent.
