For the third and last time this summer, St-Laurent — between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal, anyway — is closed to cars. And you know what that means: street meat, alcohol and hours of people watching. So get out there. Now! St-Laurent, all weekend, free

As part of NDG Arts Week, Roadsworth closes out his Inside Out solo show with a “Finissage.”  The documentary Roadsworth: Crossing the Line will also screen. Maison de la Culture NDG (3755 Botrel), 3–8 p.m.

Attend a brand new music festival, Expérience MTL. On day one, the accent is on local francophone bands: Malajube, Alaclair Ensemble and Canailles, with a bonus reunion of bilingual rock ’n’ rollers les Sexareenos. Olympic Park Esplanade, 4:45–11 p.m., $12

Sex it up at Soirée Érotique, a one-night kinkfest featuring an art show, DJs, bands, pole dancing and some racy performances, going down (erm) tonight. Belmont (4483 St-Laurent), 10 p.m., $10
