DON’T MISS MONTREAL’S HOTTEST EVENTS OF THE SUMMER!
The BBCM Foundation is pleased to announce the details regarding its major summer event, the Twist Weekend, taking place in Montreal from July 30th to August 3rd. The TWIST WEEKEND is back this year with major activities which will bring together the hot boys from everywhere and will provide fun, good energy and good music. GAY DAY AT THE BEACH… AND AN AMAZING BEACH PARTY
On the Saturday of the Twist Weekend, it’s always very warm and humid. The best way to enjoy such a day is to head to the beach! The BBCM team, in collaboration with Parking Nightclub, has created the event that you need: a gay day at the beach of Parc Jean-Drapeau on a fantastic and accessible site (including a platform overlooking the swimming lake on Notre-Dame Island) and in the company of great DJs. Make sure you check out this wonderful event that is as popular as ever. It is strongly suggested to purchase your tickets in advance (the capacity is limited). One of the highlights of the Twist Weekend, it’s the best way to spend a warm summer afternoon day just before you head to the Twist Party later that night ! DJs for the beach party are: Ian Key, Stéfane Lippé and Charles Poulin. So, on Saturday, August 1st, from 1 PM to 10 PM, head for the Beach of “Parc Jean-Drapeau” (Jean-Drapeau metro station, just two stations away from the Gay Village area, follow the indications at the exit of the metro station, there is a city bus that runs from the metro station to the beach).
THE TWIST PARTY
After your day at the beach, come to Club Medley and meet all the hot boys in town! The main event of the Twist Weekend, the Twist Party is always pure fun! It’s at a big venue called Le Medley, on Saturday, August 1st , all-night long (starting at 10 pm). It is with pleasure that the BBCM has invited the DJ/producer Mark Anthony to spin at this event. More major DJs will be confirmed shortly. The Twist Party is always a favorite with the Montreal clientele and with many tourists who also attend this « happy house music » event which also offer surprises and entertainment during the night!
TWIST ENCORE PARTY
The following day, on Sunday, August 2nd, the BBCM team presents the Twist Encore Party at Parking Nightclub. This event will also be packed because of its huge popularity each year and certainly because of the DJs playing at the event that night. It is strongly suggested to arrive early and to purchase your tickets in advance.
