Published on September 23, 2009 – Lite Switch is the theme of this year's Black & Blue Festival, which turns on its legendary high-wattage fun this fall from October 7 to 13. Hotly anticipated by gay and straight communities alike, this week-long, party-packed event rolls out its awesome program in venues across the city.
For the occasion, close to 70,000 jet-setters from around the globe will be meeting up in Montréal to take part in the fest's nearly non-stop line-up of cocktail evenings, concerts, shows, all-night dance parties and brunches.
The party hits its fever pitch with the dance-your-pants-off Black & Blue at the Palais des congrès (Franco Fabi, Dave Seaman, John Digwood and Sasha ready to rock your body!). Festivities start the evening of Sunday, October 11, and don't wrap up until noon the next day, with OJ and brunch served to replenish your energy.
With the Jock Ball, the Leather Ball, the Military Ball, the Recovery Party and more than 60 cultural, artistic and sports activities lined up, this major Montréal fest proves why it's got a global following.
