Heads-up for your OfF Piknic nights with Purple Disco Machine/Carl Cox:

A STM strike will pause metro service from 5:45 pm to 11 pm and bus service from 5:45 pm to 11:30 pm. No worries, we’ve lined up plenty of ways to keep the party moving:

Exceptionally, we’ll be open from 5 pm to 10:45 pm - which means Purple Disco Machine (Sept 26) and Carl Cox (Oct 3) will extend their show right up to 10:45pm!

And to keep your night as seamless as the beats, here are our pro tips for a smooth evening:

1. Arrive Early!

• Plan to reach the site before 5:45 pm to catch the metro while it’s still running.

2. BIXI – Extra Hub

• A temporary BIXI station will be set up on the island to add more bikes and docks.

3. Taxi / Uber

• Official drop-off point: in front of the Hélène-de-Champlain building.

4. Carpool & Parking

• All parking lots are open 6 am – 11 pm
  Pay at the machines or via mobile app (credit/debit). Flat rate: $25/day.

• Best options for Piknic:

Lot	Walk to dance floor	Why choose it
P7 – Plaine des Jeux	8–10 min	Closest to the action—fills fast.
P1 – Métro Jean-Drapeau	8–10 min	Easy to find, well-marked walkway.
P10 – Biosphere / Tour de Lévis	10 min	Quick exit toward downtown.
P2 – Musée Stewart / La Ronde	12–15 min	Biggest capacity for late arrivals.

• Carpool if you can—share costs and cut traffic!

Thanks for planning your trip so you can dance from 5 pm to 10:45 pm

Come early, stay late! See you on the dance floor,

The Piknic Électronik Team
