Music with POP Montreal, Thanksgiving, voting, apple picking before it's too late then Halloween, maybe a film at the Goethe-Institut ... October is filled to capacity with culture and color.

A month to learn the ukulele, some magic tricks, see Jupiter up close, meet ghosts, create ancient amulets ... so many freebies for the little ones in October!

4. Theater and Dance

Last chance to see the much-raved about Nebbia, David Copperfield worked his magic on ticket sales, then there's José Navas' Miniatures, the irreverent The Tiger Lillies (minus Alexander Hacke on this tour) are in town later in the month and there's much much more to discover in your October Guide to Theatre and Dance in Montreal!

5. Museums and Art Galleries

The Montreal Planterium's latest show questions the extent of our existence, the Science Center is all about trees, Andy Warhol is featured at the MMFA and does the Redpath not scream Halloween?
