The Plateau has a brand-new boutique and café focusing on locally produced goods, and while Café MRKT has been in soft-opening phase since November, they’re throwing an official grand opening party this evening, which doubles as the launch for local fashion label Beurd. 838 Mont-Royal E., 5–9 p.m., free

Head to le Livart for the vernissage of the immersive group exhibition Sublime featuring works in a variety of mediums from Montreal artists Sean Mundy, Daniel Iregui, Ariane Côté, Isabelle Benoît, Béka RamGa and Guillaume Arsenault, as curated by art promoters Artbangbang. 3980 St-Denis, 6–9 p.m., free

Bakersfield Mist is an international hit by U.S playwright Stephen Sachs, directed for Centaur Theatre by Roy Surette.
