Bright and bountiful signs of spring
The month of May marks the arrival of spring in Montreal and unfolds in a whirlwind of celebrations: hundreds of butterflies flutter at the Botanical Garden and musical swings chime in the Quartier des spectacles. The spring season heralds the return of a traditional sugar shack meal in a downtown cabane, the opening of the Jardins Gamelin, and much more!
While in Montreal, you can also take the opportunity to visit various museums, such as the Écomusée du fier monde, the Redpath Museum of McGill University, and the Montreal Science Centre.
