Montreal’s 7th annual city punk festival Pouzza Fest took place last weekend in downtown Montreal including five indoor venues and an outdoor stage at the Beer Garden. The festival attendees were spoiled with an amazing weather most of the weekend, and only got wet at the last outdoor show of the weekend on Sunday when California’s Lagwagon closed Pouzza’s main stage.
