Reconnecting the people, the music, and the magic – Réunion Saint Laurent

Montreal’s nightlife in the 80s and 90s on St. Laurent was legendary. From the music, to the people, to the extravagant nightclubs, “the Main” was more than a strip of venues. It was a cultural artery. A meeting ground. A rhythm that shaped generations.

On Sunday, December 28th, Réunion St Laurent Montréal brings the spirit back to Bowie Supperclub for its 15th year. One night only. Limited capacity. Tickets on sale now. 

Recognized as a Best Kept MTL Holiday Time special selection, this annual gathering brings together the St Laurent 1990s nightlife crews for a night rooted in memory, community, and above all, house music. From 7 PM to 3 AM, Bowie becomes a space where past and present meet on the dance floor.

Legendary Nights on the Main, Then and Now

Montreal’s nightlife was legendary for a reason. Thunderous sound systems, packed rooms, sweat on the walls, and a crowd that could feel something new taking shape. House music was rising, fresh, rebellious, and alive.

The tracks from that era still resonate today. You don’t just remember the music, you remember where you first heard it. The people made the scene: DJs, dancers, artists, and outsiders coming together night after night, building a culture that was organic, authentic, and impossible to manufacture.

The night honours that legacy by carrying its energy forward. It connects what was then with what is now, not by recreating the past but the continuation of a story that never really stopped.

From Past Gatherings to an Original Home

After editions at Club Peopl in the 2010s, this year we return to one of the original neighborhoods. Bowie is a venue that perfectly captures the energy, spirit, and history of St. Laurent’s legendary nightlife.

Hidden beneath Old Montreal, Bowie Supperclub offers an immersive, and chic atmosphere. Plush textures, dramatic lighting, and an intimate layout encourage presence and connection. Like the legendary rooms of the past, Bowie is designed for those who come for the music and stay for the people.

House Music Is the Premise

At its core, Réunion St Laurent Montréal exists for the music. This is the foundation of the night and the reason it has lasted fifteen years. The soundtrack focuses on timeless house anthems that defined an era and still resonate today.

These are the records that built dance floors and communities. Soulful vocals, rolling basslines, and hypnotic rhythms made tracks like Good Life, Promised Land, Move Your Body, Can You Feel It, and Where Love Lives more than hits, they were anthems that shaped DJ sets, inspired dancers, and created moments still felt on the floor today. Not nostalgia, but the foundation of house music’s energy.

With Jojo Flores, Eddy Lewis & Toddy Flores on decks, the approach remains authentic. The music is played with patience and respect, allowing dancers to settle into the groove the way house music was always intended to be experienced.

A Reunion That Feels Personal

On St. Laurent, memories collide with the present – familiar faces, old friends, DJs, and artists reconnect over drinks as the music carries the night. From DiSalvio’s to Business, Steel Monkey, Crisco, and Royale, Montreal’s legendary 90s clubs defined an era.

Josh Silver, a natural connector and longtime champion of Montreal’s house music scene, helped shape the community over several decades. That energy still pulses today – authentic, powerful, and unforgettable. Josh is the co-producer and promoter of this event.

Why Réunion St Laurent Montréal Still Matters

The tradition continues because it speaks to something deeper than trends. It honours where Montreal nightlife came from while creating space for it to evolve. Especially during the holidays, it offers a reason to gather, to dance, and to remember why the Main once mattered so much.

On Sunday, December 28th, Réunion St Laurent Montréal is not just a party. It is a continuation. If you know, you know. And if you don’t, this is where it begins.
