Montreal’s PARADISE (9 September 2026)
Ok we have to all admit it; summer is over. Don’t believe me? The college kids are back..that’s all the evidence we need lol. And generally I don’t have a problem with summer ending… I just kinda hate that the next season is Pumpkin-in-Every-Way-Shape-and-Form season. Like, why? Especially when apples are clearly the superior Fall fruit. Where is my apple spiced latte? (Holla if you know where i can find one:) )
However, summer being over doesn’t stop anything in this city. People gonna still picnic, throw events, make up a new random festival, party till the wee hours, and play their instruments in some local dive bar to an adoring crowd. So, you might as well join them!

FORMAT MTL
In December 2025, designers around the city of Montréal received a mysterious letter in the mail. What if Montréal had its own version of 3 Days of Design, Fourisalone or the CDMX Art/ Design Week? Their curiosity piqued, more than 60 designers representing studios around the city heeded the call. A meeting took place, and then more followed. On 10-11-12 September, the fruit of these imaginings, baptized Format, will take place for the first time. Exhibitions, pop-up shops, conferences, vernissages and gatherings of all kinds invite Montréalers to experience the rich cultural offering of its designers, designer-makers, craftspeople, builders, imaginers and architects. The CCC will participate in Format with two events to bring the community together.
WHAT: Format MTL
