Autumn is here. To emphasize this, here are some activity ideas.

Discovered in the United States in 2014 during his appearance on the television music competition The Voice, Morgan Wallen has since been accumulating success at a steady pace. The country singer has seen his last two albums go to the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart; eight of his songs reached the top 10. In short, the 30-year-old is on fire and transcends the boundaries between pop and country. He kicked off the Canadian leg of his One Night At A Time tour last weekend in Toronto, and stops this Thursday in Ottawa before going to Quebec on Friday and Montreal on Saturday where he is expected to play in front of packed houses.

The Museum of Fine Arts of Mont-Saint-Hilaire and the Maison Paul-Émile Borduas present on September 23 and 24 four readings of extracts from the Refus global manifesto and the texts that accompanied it. Around thirty artists will participate in one or other of these readings. A few random names: Isabelle Blais, Marc Labrèche, Bénédicte Décary, Bruno Pelletier, Marcel Sabourin. These events will be used to raise funds for Maison Paul-Émile Borduas. Ticket prices: $20 or $40, depending on location chosen.

The Place d’Youville area will host the Québec, Magic City festival for the second year. Several shows are on the program for the one and only magic event open to the public in North America, including that of Fredo – entitled An Elephant in the Room and presented at Saint-Charles Garnier College. The Diamond will also host a show bringing together several international magic champions from five countries. Magic School, for ages 6 and up, is also back. September 20-24.
