Comments Off on Budweiser’s St. Party’s Day weekend at Ontario Place

Boasting Canada’s largest St. Patrick’s Day party right here in Toronto, the 3rd annual St. Party’s Day was held this weekend on both Saturday and Sunday with estimates ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 people at Ontario Place. The cold weather was no match for the massive numbers of party-goers inside the heated tent, a bunch of DJ sets, authentic Irish music, Irish dancers and the official Budweiser Big Rig. It was quite the scene and delivered what I expected based on last year’s experience, to a bigger scale. It will be interesting to see what happens at next year’s St. Party’s Day!

Here’s some notable tweets

Comments Off on The Fermenting Cellar – Distillery District Events Industry Open House

Last February, we had the opportunity to participate in the Distillery Events industry open house featuring their event coordination team with their preferred vendors for an incredible evening. There were many stations to enjoy including raw oysters, wine, Mill St. beer, Glenfiddich, a coffee and dessert bar, Contemporary Furniture Rentals, Photostar photo booth, and much more. It was great to see familiar faces including Grenville Pinto’s entertaining violin acts, beats by DJ Danny Floh Back, A2D2 aerial performances and 5th Element Events. Everything was top notch as you would expect from a premier team of event professionals in this historic area of Toronto with it’s own unique character.

Distillery Events features a range of venues such as Archeo, Arta Gallery, Boiler House as well as the Fermenting Cellar. For more information visit www.distilleryevents.com or call 416-203-2363.

Last year’s St. Party’s Day indoors at St. Lawrence Market. This year will be even bigger!

I can attest to the fact that last year’s sold-out St. Party’s Day was hugely popular at St. Lawrence Market. This year continues the tradition of being the biggest St. Patrick’s Day party and it will be hard to dispute that with Budweiser on board and over 15,000 expected party goers in attendance over two full days of St. Party’s Day. It’s so big they’ve moved it to Ontario Place this year.

There will be large heated tents, a bunch of DJ sets, authentic Irish music, Irish dancers and the official Budweiser Big Rig. Here are the full details in this Facebook event.
