Harbourfront Centre announces its first season of Lakeside Late Nights, a unique after-hours event series that fuses the energy of a Saturday night out with provocative cultural themes. Coinciding with various festivals throughout the summer, the face of Lakeside Late Nights reinvents itself each week, becoming an entirely new nightlife destination inspired by that weekend’s specific festival. The result is a stimulating and ever-changing Saturday night experience. There are no presale tickets, only a cover charge of $10. Most nights are all-ages, but alcohol will be served to participants 19+. Lakeside Late Nights will take place every Saturday night from July 4 to September 5.
“Harbourfront Centre is beyond excited to bring Late Nights to the waterfront,” says Sergio Elmir, Artistic Associate at Harbourfront Centre. “The party now extends past 11pm with a great lineup of live music and cutting-edge DJs that will surely have you tearing up the dance floor all night long!”
