The BBCM team is proud to announce that the events of the Twist Weekend will take place during the Montreal Gay Pride (Célébrations de la Fierté Montréal) as part of the official activities. Moved to the second weekend of August, from the 12th to the 15th, the BBCM parties will take place in various locations and will feature some of the best talent Montreal has to offer. Make sure you don’t miss the activities surrounding the Gay Pride Parade… for a weekend to remember!
The main event, the Twist Party will take place in three venues, offering a variety of sounds and crowds! Don’t miss the first part on the terrace of Koko lounge (Opus Hotel) on St-Laurent Street, where you’ll enjoy an afternoon in the sun with some of Montreal’s best looking crowd.
