What’s new at Igloofest 2023

Four Saturdays of Igloofête

Igloofest isn't just for grown-ups who want to dance under the winter stars. This year, the festival offers activities for the whole family. Igloofête is a free and festive event presented on Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Quai Jacques-Cartier. It will feature music, visual performances, games and food trucks. Drop by and check out local DJs, the immersive multimedia environment inspired by kids’ artwork, plus slides and archery games. And, of course, lots of hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Après-Ski nights

Why stop dancing when you’re on a roll? For the first time this year, Igloofest offers festivalgoers the chance to keep the party going past its usual curfew. On Fridays and Saturdays, the festival will introduce Après-Ski nights, from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., in some of the hottest spots in Montréal, including the Auberge Saint-Gabriel, the Phi Centre, the Soubois or the Velvet Speakeasy, with prestigious stars like Dennis Ferrer and Nico de Andrea.

All-night closing event at Society for Arts and Technology (SAT)

Here’s another surprise that will keep you grooving all night: Igloofest will close its 15th edition in style with an all-nighter on February 11 at the Society for Arts and Technology. Spearheaded by UK label Anjunadeep, the event will feature headliners CRI, Eli & Fur and OLAN in the Espace SAT while Leaving Laurel, Sao Miguel and Sinca take over the turntables in the dome. A first in Montréal, this evening will offer an exceptional format from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., where the sale of alcoholic beverages will be permitted, thanks to a special authorization from the City of Montréal.
