Parc Jean-Drapeau doesn’t mess around when it comes to music festivals in August. The dust has settled on the island after hosting its second big music festival in back-to-back weekends.

ÎleSoniq, the electronic music festival, took place this past Friday and Saturday as more than 50 artists from around the world cranked the tunes and turned the island into a giant outdoor dance party.
