Since it’s mid-January, I was reminiscing this weekend about one of the most incredible concerts in the world that I’ve been able to cover: Igloofest Montreal<\/em>. Taking place annually over several weekends in January and early-February, it’s a DJ concert series taking place outdoors in the dead winter of Canada!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who in their right mind would attend an outdoor concert at night during a Canadian winter?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It actually stays kind of warm due to body heat when you’re within the crowd. It’s when you move away from it that you really feel how cold it is! Temps during my visits have ranged from 5\u00b0 to 10\u00b0F (-12\u00b0 to -15\u00b0C).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s an amazing experience! Unfortunately they had to cancel it in 2020 due to beginning of Covid-19 and in 2021 it will only operate virtually. LINK <\/a>Hopefully in 2022 it can return.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
