Georges St-Pierre to appear at glitzy Grand Prix party in Montreal
Of the dozens of festivities hitting the Montreal circuit this year, there are few more glamorous than Maxim’s star-studded Grand Prix party on June 8. From celebrities, athletes, and artists, this year’s Maxim party will once again turn Windsor Station into a playground of A-listers.
Among the names on this year’s guest list is none other than legendary Canadian UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre.
Rob Segal, president of partnerships at TFA — the organizers behind the Maxim Party and Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival — confirmed in an interview with Daily Hive that GSP will be attending the event.
But rather than just being a gala guest, Segal revealed that the St-Isidore, Quebec, native will also “take the stage” to say a few words and introduce French Montana’s headlining performance.
Segal, who began planning the gala 10 months in advance, promises that more surprises are in store too.
“There’s going to be some cool activations. People will be dressed to the nines, and you’ll have tons of celebrities, you know, mingling about with hockey players and basketball players,” Segal tells Daily Hive. “It’s a site and spectacle. We take what was a train station, and we transform it into an absolutely lit night.”
Along with French Montana and GSP, whose presence was made possible by Pur Sang Voda (the official vodka of the Maxim Grand Prix Party), confirmed stars at this year’s event include DJ duo Nervo and social media star Sommer Ray. Meanwhile, notable figures from past years included Diplo, Minka Kelly, PK Subban, Sloane Stephens, Eugenie Bouchard, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, and Jean Pascal.
With more than 2,500 expected guests, the upcoming Maxim Party, which will take place on Saturday, June 8, has already sold 80% of it tickets.
As for the annual Crescent Festival, which recently expanded to occupy part of de Maisonneuve Boulevard, Segal reveals that attendees can expect something bigger and better.
“Festivals like this are real celebrations of the city,” he says. “You’re gonna see more music, more programming, more giveaways, more things for people to engage with. And obviously, it’s all free and fun. So hopefully, we can get some good weather.”
