After snoozling our way through work and school all week in a turkey coma, we have earned a fun and cool weekend to celebrate fall and everything cozy and hip that the city has to offer.

Celine Dion played the first of two shows at the Canadian Tire Centre on October 15.

The season opens with Moon Mission, a space-themed party on October 25th.

If you haven’t checked out the fall colours in Gatineau Park yet, the long weekend is looking like the perfect time to go!

Buena Vista Social Club is more than just an album and an ensemble of musicians: it is a historical account of Cuba, and indeed of the Americas. Their fame and life dedicated to music deserves all the praise they get, and this tribute at the NAC will certainly go a long way in keeping their stories alive.
