Winter is always cold, but it doesn’t always have to be miserable.

Why fight the weather, embrace it.

Join our host, Quebec City’s own Bonhomme Carnaval, in the Hart House Quad for our first-ever outdoor Winter Blast party.

We’ll have DJ Jason Palma broadcasting live to CIUT, plenty of warm drinks and snacks, and of course a few heat lamps just in case the dancing doesn’t keep you warm. To keep up with our Canadian winter theme, we will be serving the signature drink of the Quebec Winter Carnival – Caribou. This traditional mixture of red wine, alcohol and maple syrup is sure the warm you up from the inside out.

For a classic Canadian treat, you can sample tire sur la neige, the always popular maple syrup on snow. Venture into the Great Hall lounge for a quick break in front of a roaring fireplace and cozy Quebec-themed snacks available for purchase.

When: Thurs., Jan. 22, 8:30 pm-1 am

Where: Hart House Quad

Cost: $10 plus HST / 19+*
