A 10-minute fireworks display as a tribute to Michael Jackson, immediately following the Jupiter Awards ceremony
Montréal, Thursday, August 20, 2009 – Nearly two months after the sudden passing of the King of Pop, La Ronde will pay a music-and-fireworks tribute to Michael Jackson on Saturday at 10 PM, immediately following the Jupiter Awards ceremony, which is set to start at 9:30 PM. The 10-minute tribute will consist of a “pyrotechnical painting” featuring a medley of 11 of Jackson’s greatest hits as well as the singer’s likeness!
As a fitting addition to the tribute, La Ronde will turn its open-air dance floor into a 1980s disco featuring Michael Jackson’s most popular songs. His hits will also be heard at Jardin des Étoiles. Visitors are invited to dress in their favourite Michael Jackson memorabilia!
