The CJSW x Sled Island Halloween Bash is back on Friday, October 31 at the #1 Royal Canadian Legion! You Wouldn't Download a Party, but you would attend one, especially when it's the best Halloween Party in the city!

Join us as we celebrate CJSW's 2025 Play / Connect / Discover Funding Drive with some of the best bands in the city covering Y2K songs, a video dance party, a drag show, and a costume contest with the winner announced at midnight. Bring your best for your chance to win some great swag!

CJSW has once again collaborated with Last Best to produce a special brew to celebrate this year's Funding Drive season and theme — The Radio Wave hazy pilsner — with a portion of the proceeds from each beer sold going to CJSW. Last Best is the proud sponsor of this party, so make sure to give them some love at their Beltline location.

Taking the stage we’ve got PERRA, Iron Tusk, Dial Up, Rebel Grrrlz, Pøltergeist, Window Lamp Corp., Parisian Orgy, WACK, Thee Canadian Dispatch, Friends First, the CJSW Family Band and the Evan Wilson Experience!

New this year, we’ve also got a killer drag show hosted by Joanie Sabbath and Divina Diefor, featuring performances from Valerie Hunt and Ofelia Vidal!
 

Also, remember to support CJSW's 2025 Funding Drive at CJSW.com/Donate.
