Staff Writer

Igloofest is coming back in a completely new and reimagined way for Winter 2021. Instead of dancing in a snowstorm, you'll be dancing from the comfort of your own home!

"The world’s coldest festival will go on this year, with a special digital edition unlike any other," said Igloofest in a press release shared with MTL Blog.

The festival will take place online, between January 16 and February 8. Programming for Igloofest 2021 will be unveiled in early January. 

Igloofest has also launched an online shop, selling official Igloofest merch like the classic toque and hockey jerseys just in time for the holidays. 

In addition, for every pair of socks sold online, Igloofest will donate a pair to homeless charities in Montreal. 

Igloofest will celebrate its 15th anniversary next year and the 2022 edition is promising to be bigger and better than ever.
