Thousands of partiers will flock to the Old Port to brave the freezing temperatures for nine nights (split across four weekends) of wild music, cozy costumes, and snowy dancers, the first of which starts tonight.
Tonight’s artists include Lauer, Silktits, Tind, Boycott, Kizi Garden Crew, Charlotte, VJ Bunbun, and Zab Laf, split across two stages.
When: Thursday, January 16
Time: 7:30 to 11 pm
Where: Quai Jacques Cartier
