WHAT? Noël dans le parc’s outdoor solstice celebration
WHEN? Friday, December 21st, 8pm
WHERE? Lahaie Park, on St. Laurent between St. Joseph and Laurier
Noël dans le parc, the annual festival that takes place in Lahaie Park, at the corner of St. Laurent and Laurier, continues tomorrow with a number of special solstice events. The evening begins at 8pm with Afro-Brazillian percussion performed by Zurumba, followed by a raï concert by the local collective Syncop, kora by Zal Idrissa Sissokho, traditional Quebec music by Genticorum and solo guitar by Eric Mongrain.
Finally, at 10pm, Laïka and MEG Montreal will present Le Père Noël est un DJ, an electronic music event that benefits Sun Youth. Really, what says Christmas more than electronic music? It’s not every night that you get to dance in the snow.
