By the time the after-party starts we'll all know who won the 2017 Polaris Music Prize happening earlier that evening at The Carlu in Toronto.

All that will remain is the cathartic and celebratory blowout for Polaris staff, jurors, nominees, industry hangers-on and various 1s who don't want the magic to end.

Join us at The Drake Hotel where Trevor Risk will DJ a soundtrack suitable for such emotional release.

Courtesy of Lixar IT, a number of free shuttle buses will be available to take Gala attendees from The Carlu to The Drake Hotel at the conclusion of the #Polaris2017 broadcast event.

The #Polari2017 Gala will be broadcast live via starting at 8 p.m. ET at http://www.cbcmusic.ca/polarisprize.

Admission to the after-party is free.
