From a media release - this is so Canadian:
Melt the ice with hot beats at Harbourfront Centre’s
DJ Skate Saturday Nights!
Toronto’s favorite ice skating party returns with local & international DJs!
TORONTO, ON (Nov.22, 2010) – Cold winter nights just got a lot hotter with the return of the popular DJ Skate Saturday Nights at Harbourfront Centre’s Natrel® Rink. Every Saturday night from Dec. 4 to
Feb. 19 (except Christmas and New Years Day) features a new set of mix-masters spinning the hottest tunes from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The first DJ Skate Saturday Nights event kicks off with a performance by CHERRY BOMB featuring Cozmic Cat and Denise Benson. This duo is sure to bring down the house (or should we say “rink”) with their electrifying beats. The fun continues well into the winter season with free performances by 1 LOVE T.O.nights with DJ Lux and Jedi, DJ P-Plus and DJ Romeo, DJ Medicineman, 44th and Filth, Estilo Bakanchido and Promise DJs!
February features two special DJ Skate Saturday Nights parties that coincide with Kuumba, Harbourfront Centre’s Black History Month celebration. The first event (Feb. 5), imports Detroit’s own DJ D Brown to a special Motown Mixer. The second event (Feb. 12), brings the Caribbean to Toronto when Dr. Jay de Soca Prince spins spicy Caribbean rhythms at Soca on Ice. On Feb.19, another season of skate party fun comes to a close with a South Asian skate party featuring the best beats from Bhangra to Bollywood during Masala! Mehndi! Masti! Winterfest!
If the chilly winter weather gets the best of you, warm up next to our outdoor fire pits or grab a quick bite at the Lakeside Eats restaurant overlooking The Natrel® Rink (you don’t even have to take off your skates)! Free hot chocolate will also be served at each DJ Skate Saturday Night event courtesy of Natrel®.
