Jazz Festival during the Fall? Yes sir!

For the students who thought that the city of Montreal is only cool during the summer, well, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree.
The city also happens to organize events for the other seasons of the year, which includes the time when the leaves start yellowing. 
From October 03rd to 12th artists from Quebec and all over the world will be making their presentations and performing in an event that seems to be fun, cultural and very very beautiful.

Have fun!
