Hey everyone!

I’m completely new to Quebec and currently trying to plan a summer getaway to Lac Jaune, which is located in the Papineau Regional County Municipality (Outaouais region).

The catch is, I don’t have a driver’s license, so driving myself is out of the question. I'm trying to figure out the logistics and would love some local insight.

I’m heading to my first rave at Stereo this weekend and I’m super excited but also a bit nervous since I’m going solo/new to the scene.

I’ve heard Stereo is an after-hours vibe and doesn't serve alcohol. Since that's the case, is it common for people to find party favors inside or is that something people usually sort out before they arrive? I want to make sure I’m prepared and safe. Also, any tips for a first-timer at Stereo would be amazing! Thanks!

UPDATE: BEST NIGHT EVER!

Omg okay so I just wanted to update this because I seriously had the best night ever. A lot of people told me it was going to be a solo experience but honestly I met some of the most amazing humans on friday night. I ended up going in around 1 am and didn't leave until the set was over at 10:30 am.

Near the end around 9 am the music and the volume just got so overwhelming for a bit but there were so many people checking up on me. Everybody was so incredibly sweet and really helped me out when I needed it. I have literally never felt more a part of something than I did in there, and I will forever be grateful to the amazing people I met. Thank you so much again to whoever helped me and my friend out, Stereo really is heaven on earth.

Also to the beautiful french lady i met who told me that my choice of knee high socks was out of the world, i will never forget you
