Evenko announced a change to its bag policy for events held at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal. The new rules now allow certain non‑transparent bags, provided they comply with existing size limits. The adjustment applies to all upcoming festivals on the island, including the LASSO festival, and is intended to streamline entry for attendees.
Previously, Evenko required that all bags brought into venues such as the ÎleSoniq music festival be fully transparent. That restriction was in place for several years across events on the island. The organization said the revision will give patrons more flexibility while maintaining security standards.
Under the updated policy, event staff will continue to check that bags meet the prescribed dimensions, but the material of the bag no longer has to be see‑through. Organizers indicated that the change is timed to coincide with the start of the LASSO festival, which is set to begin later this summer.
Evenko’s decision reflects a broader effort to simplify the visitor experience at Parc Jean-Drapeau. By easing the bag requirement, the company aims to reduce the number of items that must be inspected at entry points, potentially shortening wait times for concertgoers and festival attendees.
The revised policy will be in effect for all events at the park moving forward, unless further adjustments are announced. Patrons are advised to review the size specifications before attending to ensure compliance with the new guidelines.
