More than ever, the Celebration of Light was the place to be for Montreal
High Lighters and their guests. This year, thanks to the addition of the Place
des Festivals and Espace L’Oréal,
the Quartier des spectacles welcomed more fans than ever
to a wildly diverse program. Start with the unique Ambiosphère
L’Oréal, in the heart of a forest of inflatables and
lovely lights, welcoming a phenomenal amount of visitors to its voyage into
the universe. A runaway success.
And the party kept going in Old Montreal and the Quays
of the Old Port, thanks to family activities and new additions to
the program-the Giant Labyrinth, a special guest appearance
by the Alouettes and the Grey Cup at the BMO Skating
Rink, the Milk Hospitality Tent, the Portuguese
Happy Hours, AXA Electro Evenings…-and,
above all, the BMO Shows, driving crowds wild with performances
by Malajube (opening concert), We are Wolves, Nadja, La
patère rose and the uproarious Denis Drolet with
their closing Plume Latraverse tribute! Preceded by the BMO Fireworks displays
and the Quays of the Old Port Events presented by Hydro-Québec,
the concerts were a huge hit with fans. Finally, the Sphère
AXA was a massive success, with thousands of Montrealers dancing
to music and visuals provided by hot DJs and VJs. One late-arriving guest
was a real surprise: a savage windstorm that blew through the site in the
wee hours of Friday. But thanks to the involvement of AXA, we transformed
the venue into an open-air dancefloor and moved the musical events to the
BMO Stage.
