Blankfest Quebec IV- It’s About The Homeless; Nothing More, Nothing Less

In the cold they sit and in the cold they wait. Montreal’s homeless never have it easy as the city streets they live on are notorious for having brutal winters, with temperatures well below zero. For that reason, year after year, Montreal’s music community comes together to help keep warm. Blankfest Quebec is proud to announce its annual return for its 4th year in support of one of Canada’s oldest and largest homeless shelters, the Old Brewery Mission.
