Im going for the whole 3 days of the last weekend.
Best lineup.
Its a very good party however its very very cold.
You need to buy Winter -25 plus boots. Dont even try to go
without a major warm jacket and atleast 1 pair of $100-$150 dollar
boots.
My friend lasted 20 minutes without them last year.
Remember its on a frozen port on the Lake so its gets ridiculesly
cold.
the parties on go till about 1am...then there are some afterparties
including probably one that platform will do Sat night. |

Sounds so much fun, but today was FREEEZING and I didn't even want to go outside to smoke... If I can't handle that, how in the hell am I going to handle this!?
And it looks like I was to go, getting some ACTUAL winter/sking gear would be required and probably become quite expensive...
But sounds so much fun!

Yeah, but a week before is kinda short notice to get information or arrange things in an entirely other city, and two major cities over from me!

honestly its a great party...i think everyone should check it out
as nothing else like this exists anywere.
But if you are not prepared. You will leave right away.
Montreal in January is the coldest place ever.
Last year I had to buy boots just to go and wore the biggest Canada goose Jacket and after 1.5 hour dancing I was compleely frozen
and had to leave.
The floor of the party is a slush fest...they even rent snowmachines
to make more snow if it wasnt cold enough lol. |

If it's been going on for more than a year it must have a pretty good turnout. I think I'll go dressed super eskimo styles.
Fanciulli!!! |

the parties average between 4000-6000 people.
So its very tiny |

The fact that it's outside and you're partying in winter jackets is what makes this party. The line-up is awesome, no doubt, but I've gone on nights where I didn't know or didn't like the music and haven't cared a bit because it's one of the coolest experiences ever. Without a doubt every single one of the best parties I've ever been to where Igloofest nights. The fact that its cold and everyone's in jackets pretty much makes everybody party harder just to keep warm, its a crazy crowd. And yes, you can dance in snow suits, its not problem :P
If you get too cold there's an inside area you can go to (where the restrooms and one of the bars are) to keep warm, or huddle up by one of the fires. Though honestly if you come prepared its not an issue. You definitely don't need the highest end winter gear if you'll layer either. I wear a hoodie, winter jacket, tuque, gloves, jeans, pj pants, snow pants and 2 pairs of socks. It sounds like a lot, but it's not uncomfortable and I stay warm enough to get through the night just fine. Beer does have a tendency to turn to slush before you can finish it though. |

I want to go for the last weekend but I'm allergic to the cold. I'd probably get pneumonia and diiiiiie. :(
Some friends who went last year reported that the dancefloor didn't have sufficient drainage and some parts ended up being a lake of cold slushy water several inches deep. Now if that's not a thought to freeze you to the bone...! |
