If the recent weather has you longing for summer, some news from Mural Fest might help excite you even more.

The giant, urban art festival announced it is returning to Montreal for its seventh edition with a 10-day run from June 6 to 16.

Mural Fest brings together world-class visual artists and musicians who collaborate for a cultural celebration in the heart of Montreal’s Boulevard Saint-Laurent.

The facade of buildings, roads, parking lots, and public spaces are taken over by immensely talented international and local artists, turning The Plateau into a massive urban art playground.

Though the official program for this year’s festival will be released in April, Mural Fest took to social media in announcing this summer’s first visual artist, Miss Van.

Besides showcasing a variety of art forms, the festival also integrates a street sale, live music and food trucks all over Boulevard Saint-Lo.
