Hot sunny days and school’s out; the festival season has begun! Montreal is filled with festivals so we understand one must pick his battles to be able to afford or manage to take off work for the weekend. Today we’ve decided to tell you about arguably the most exciting experience of the summer in and around Montreal; AIM Festival. We were one of the lucky ones who attended this party on its inaugural year last June & we can assure you those moments were one of the most memorable ones of the year.
Here’s 11 reasons why you should not miss AIM this upcoming 15, 16 & 17 of July:

  1. You can experience camping with your friends alongside the beautiful Outaouais river and in a wild forest.
