Hot & Dry Weekend May 20-24 Events. Click here for info.

The BBCM Foundation is happy to present its second biggest event of the year and one of the favourites, the Hot & Dry Weekend, from May 20 to 24. This year, the BBCM has organised a nice schedule of events that includes various exciting activities starting with the incomparable Hot & Dry Party back at the superb Metropolis on Saturday May 22, from 10 pm to 10 am. This year for the Hot & Dry, the BBCM squad has invited a DJ that doesn’t visit and play in Montreal very often. It is with great pleasure that the BBCM has booked DJ Abel (NYC) who will be preceded by a DJ that has played frequently with Abel, Shawn Riker from Toronto. In brief, a very special night full of energy, many musical surprises to start the summer with your arms up the air and a smile on your face ! The director and choreographer Serge Pilotte is elaborating a show entitled “THE RANGERS OF DESERT VALLEY ROAD” starring the BBCM dancers. On the next day, come and dance all-night at Club Soda, a new venue used by the BBCM for the first time with the one and only Mat Ste-Marie (Montreal) who will be opening for Victor Calderone (NYC), two masters of the turntables. The Fresh Party will take place from 10 pm to 10 am on Sunday May 23. The tickets for both events are on sale on the Ticketpro network: www.ticketpro.ca / 1 866-908-9090 / (514) 908-9090.
