Montreal Festivals and Highlights
If Halloween prep isn't enough to keep you occupied all month, then consider a few flicks at the Festival du nouveau cinéma, or a spooky ghost walk, maybe peek inside Montreal Fashion Week, or revisit oral traditions with the Québec Intercultural Storytelling Festival. You could also fork over a couple hundred dollars to see Dubya talk about his presidential tenure.
