Kabane 77 (77 rue Bernard Est)
Nestled in the heart of the Mile-End, Kabane 77 constitutes a former industrial warehouse constructed in 1960 on property owned by Canadian Pacific. From the outside, all signs would indicate that this site, which has housed a succession of commercial enterprises, has been abandoned. In reality, that is not quite the case: for the past several years, a non-profit organization has been keeping watch over the site with the mission to revive it. Their intentions for its rehabilitation will be revealed during the launch of the festival!
