The 27th annual edition of the Black & Blue Festival in Montreal will be presented from October 5 to 9 under the LUMINOCITY theme. This year, festival participants will celebrate Montreal’s diversity under the effects of lights —an homage to the city’s 375th Anniversary festivities.

LUMINOCITY 2017 BLACK & BLUE: Montreal shines bright!
From October 5 to 9, Montreal will move to the beat of the Black & Blue Festival. The main event will be held overnight in the spectacular Pierre-Charbonneau Center (located in the Olympic Park at 3000 Viau Street, Viau subway station) on Sunday, October 8th from 10 pm to 10 am the following morning.

Renowned DJs include KEV-J (Montréal), Erez Ben Ishay (Tel Avivi), ROGER SANCHEZ (New York) and VICTOR CALDERONE (New York).
