Marathon merrymaking was all the rage at the much-anticipated Ritz-Carlton Montreal Pfaff McLaren Grand Prix Party for which movers and groovers from far and wide donned their most fash-forward, futuristic-inspired formalwear in honour of the futuristic theme. As for perks, the sold-out silver-laced spectacular did not disappoint. Think amusements like buffet stations brimming with chef Johnny Porte’s best; Jenson Button’s VIP Cocktail cameo; a memorable Moët & Chandon bar; never-ending danceable tunes courtesy of DJ Yo-C; and of course the exclusive display of the McLaren 675LT, 650S and 570S and Pirelli pit stop; No wonder we were a partner.
