Hold on to that tuque – Igloofest is going to hit like a blizzard! This year, Igloofest 2009 is going to take the Jacques-Cartier Pier by storm with 6 fun-filled, rocking evenings January 16-17, 23-24, and 30-31, from 6pm to midnight! Co-producers Piknic Électronik and the Quays of the Old Port invite you into the igloo kingdom to enjoy the wildest few days of the winter!!!
What makes Igloofest the best winter event in Montreal?
