Visit the enchanted forest at Mont Tremblant

Tonga Lumina, the latest project by superstar Montreal multimedia company Moment Factory, has taken over Mont Tremblant.

The 1.5 km forest walk takes visitors on a magical, illuminated night tour of the forest and takes about an hour to complete.

Based on the story of a sleeping giant, the last of his kind and protector of the wooded lands, the interactive tour invites guests to engage in a sensory experience. Setting out on a quest to the heart of the mountain, curious visitors are encouraged to explore the giant’s tracks along the forest trail, searching for hidden clues left behind by its keeper.

Le Burger Week Montreal

Taking place over a week from September 1 to 7, nearly 400 restaurants, including at least 40 restaurants in Montreal, will participate–each of which will be “called upon to create a unique burger; reflective of their overall concept and cuisine. These participating restaurants then offer a special “burger price”, where burger aficionados are encouraged to come eat and vote on the website.”

Grab your sangria kits and drum sets! Tam Tams has returned to our fair city and we couldn’t be more excited.  Tam Tams is a magical outdoor festival where Montrealers far and wide gather in Parc Mont Royal for an afternoon of food, fun, and music.
