Shameless Dance Party @ Babylon
For those of you going to the show at Yogi’s, here’s a great event to hop to after. It’s within walking distance and is generally a good time.
It’s hot as hell outside but if you’ve been coming to SHAMELESS once a month you’re used to the heat on the dance floor. We play all of your guiltless pleasures from 90’s Eurodance to 2000’s hip hop and some modern BS every now and then when we’re feeling saucy. Come out to dance to some hot jams courtesy of DJ Matty and guest DJ Palm d’Or.

The Outaouais region is a strategic place to access all kinds of specialty beers.Its residents are served by four major distribution networks on both sides of river. They offer an impressive choice of flavors which are ever evolving. This wide selection of beer can now accompany most meals.
The phenomena of artisan beer production and the tasting experience has been growing over the past twenty years. Its development potential is still very large, as indicated by the latest report from the Association of Quebec microbreweries. The Gatineau Beerfest wants to tap on this trend by engaging the public to discover new products and by educating fans about how to taste them. The Gatineau Beerfest want you to discover its artisans, local produce, beer and food matches in a outdoor country atmosphere, amongst friends and family.
In May, the National Capital will be beating to the rhythm of the Beerfest as people discovers news flavors and local produce. Its programming is sure to please with workshops, cooking demonstrations, street artists, troubadours and entertainment.
Finally, the tasting experience is based on the idea that quality prevails over quantity. The Gatineau Beerfest is fully committed to this philosophy by encouraging people to «Drink less, drink better ».
