Yep!!! :D :D :D
It worked out that I can afford to go! Yay! And my research has shown, thus far, that I do not need a passport at the border. However I feel like it will be a nightmare without one, and I don't need that ('specially after a partaay), so I'm going to have one expedited.
I'm so excited! This will be the first party that I've traveled to. Every one so far has been in the city. And this is also the first time I'm really leaving the country. The only other time was when we went to Niagara Falls for the afternoon.
Yay International Erica! |

As long as you have valid photo ID and proof of citizenship (birth certificate) you will not have a problem.
Our friend travels from Buffalo to Toronto every weekend and never has a problem.
You guys will have a blast... you are coming to Canada and I am making my way to NY.
I may make my Bal return next provided Easter is not the weekend before WMC. ;) |

THE 14TH WHITE PARTY WEEK HAS QUITE THE DIVINE LINEUP IN STORE
Celebration in every sense of the word is what’s on tap for the 14th edition of White Party Week, which is happening from Thursday to Monday, March 20 to 24. The event that announces the arrival of springtime in Montreal, White Party Week once again guarantees party nights as feverish as they are unforgettable come Easter weekend – beginning with Bal en Blanc itself, where an all-star lineup of some of the most in-demand international DJs on the House and trance scenes holds forth on Sunday, March 23 at the Palais des Congrès (Montreal Convention Centre).
The white tide of party-goers should be moving like never before to the sounds of marquee names that include Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Ferry Corsten, Offer Nissim, Infected Mushroom and Victor Calderone, who will all be vying with one another to elevate the crowd in the two thematic rooms. Nearly 15,000 people are expected once again from 9:30 p.m. to noon at this unique event, which today ranks as one of the most important of its kind in North America. The table is set for 15 hours of divine rhythms inspired by the spirit of openness and the diversity that have made Bal en Blanc’s reputation.
From Thursday to Monday, various satellite events are also on offer as part of this very special urban celebration.
14th Bal en Blanc: a multiplication table of rhythms
The most demanding fans of electronic dance music will have their appetites satisfied and then some by the collection of formidable talents at this 14th edition.
On the House side, Montreal’s Uppercut will (literally) get the ball rolling at the stroke of 9:30 p.m. before handing over the torch to Chilean DJ Cesar “Bass” Romero, well known here for his numerous appearance in our town. A collaborator of Second Sun, France’s Cedric Gervais, American by adoption, will follow with his first set ever at the Bal, and his very festive brand of House will unquestionably make the perfect prelude to the much anticipated return of his compatriot David Guetta – who will himself assuredly be going all out to prove that the world is truly his. In the early morning, it’s the Israeli Offer Nissim’s turn to work the dancefloor with his intense and singular rhythms. Last but hardly least, Victor Calderone will bring the proceedings to a resounding close with his trademark New York vibe.
The honor of kicking off the mix in the Tech room will fall to promoter and DJ Insomnia. The queen of Montreal trance will be serving up a set more than two hours long to lay the groundwork for the eagerly awaited arrival of Infected Mushroom. The Israeli band has an unrivaled intensity when it comes to doing sets that blend together electronic rhythms and seasoned instrumentalists. Mushroom will link their live show to a DJ set all their own before giving way to Ferry Corsten. A figurehead in Dutch trance, Corsten has put his name to some of the most powerful anthems in the genre. His majesty Armin, meanwhile, Number 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100, will then settle in behind the turntables for another of the sets that are always intensely awaited by his loyal disciples. A new face on the European dance music scene, Menno De Jong will round out the Netherlands trinity in a Bal en Blanc first, before leaving it to Montreal’s Wizz, author of the new official compilation White Is Pure 7, to tie a bow on the festivities from 11 a.m. to noon.
Sinfully delicious wonderful related events
To chaperone the Bal en Blanc in style, a series of additional events will be lighting up the Montreal clubs playing host to prominent guests for the occasion.

LA 14e SEMAINE BAL EN BLANC VOUS RÉSERVE UNE PROGRAMMATION DIVINE
Le terme célébration prendra tout son sens lors de la 14e édition de la Semaine Bal en Blanc qui se déroulera du jeudi 20 au lundi 24 mars. L’événement-phare du printemps montréalais promet encore une fois des nuits de fête aussi fébriles qu’inoubliables durant le week-end de Pâques. À commencer par le Bal en Blanc lui-même qui proposera une programmation tout étoile regroupant certains DJ internationaux parmi les plus en vue sur les scènes house et trance, le dimanche 23 mars au Palais des Congrès.
La marée blanche des participants bougera comme jamais au son de pointures telles que Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Ferry Corsten, Offer Nissim, Infected Mushroom, Victor Calderone et plusieurs autres qui rivaliseront d’adresse pour soulever la foule dans les deux salles thématiques. Près de 15 000 personnes sont de nouveau attendues de 21 h 30 à midi lors de cet événement unique, devenu aujourd’hui l’un des plus importants de sa catégorie en Amérique du Nord. La table est mise pour 15 heures de rythmes divins inspirés par l’esprit d’ouverture et la diversité qui ont fait la renommée du Bal en Blanc.
Du jeudi au lundi, plusieurs événements satellites seront également proposés dans le cadre de cette fête urbaine placée sous le signe du renouveau printanier.
14e Bal en Blanc : la multiplication des rythmes
Les amateurs de musique de danse électronique les plus exigeants sauront certainement combler leur appétit lors de cette 14e édition où sont réunis de formidables talents.
Du côté house, le Montréalais Uppercut ouvrira le bal (littéralement!) sur le coup de 9 h 30 avant de passer le flambeau au DJ chilien Cesar « Bass » Romero, bien connu pour ses nombreuses apparitions dans la métropole. Collaborateur de Second Sun, le Français et Américain d’adoption Cedric Gervais offrira par la suite sa toute première prestation au Bal. Parions que sa house festive sera un excellent prélude au retour attendu de son compatriote David Guetta qui mettra certainement toute la gomme afin de prouver que le monde lui appartient vraiment. Au petit matin, ce sera au tour de l’Israélien Offer Nissim de manipuler le plancher de danse à sa guise avec ses rythmes intenses et singuliers. Enfin, le dernier et non le moindre, Victor Calderone clôturera la fête à coups de vibrations new-yorkaises bien senties.
C’est à la promotrice et DJ Insomnia que reviendra l’honneur de lancer le mix dans la salle Tech. La reine du trance montréalais offrira un set de plus deux heures pour préparer le terrain avant l’arrivée attendue de Infected Mushroom. La formation israélienne possède une intensité sans égale lorsque vient le temps de servir une prestation mélangeant rythmes électroniques et instrumentistes chevronnés. Suite à leur spectacle live, les Infected enchaîneront avec un set DJ de leur cru avant de céder la place à Ferry Corsten. Figure de proue de la trance hollandaise, Corsten a signé quelques-uns des plus puissants hymnes du genre. Sa majesté Armin, numéro 1 au Top 100 de DJ Mag, s’installera ensuite aux platines pour une autre de ses prestations attendues avec ferveur par ses fidèles disciples. Nouvelle figure sur l’échiquier européen de la dance music, Menno De Jong complètera l’armada hollandaise dans ce triplé inédit au Bal en Blanc, laissant le soin au Montréalais Wizz, auteur de la nouvelle compilation officielle White Is Pure 7, de boucler la boucle de 11h à midi.
