Outrageous evening. Unapologetic solidarity.
Save the date – November 14, 2025 — Le Bungalow, Montréal!
La Grande Démesure is back… and this year marks a double milestone.
On November 14, Interligne invites you to a dazzling 9th edition of its flagship fundraising event — held in celebration of the organization's 45th anniversary.
Since 1980, Interligne has been listening, supporting, and opening doors where they were once closed.
And to mark this turning point, this year's Grande Démesure promises to be more vibrant, more unifying — and more essential — than ever.
Event Highlights
When? November 14, 2025
Where? Le Bungalow (1751 Richardson Street, Montréal), just minutes from Charlevoix metro station
What? A festive and inclusive evening featuring artistic performances, casino games, dancing, open bar, surprises… and real meaning.
Why?
Because this event isn't just a party. It's a statement. A call to come together.
A moment to celebrate our journey — and, more importantly, to reaffirm that solidarity is our future.
But it is also, very concretely, a crucial fundraising evening. Every ticket sold, every donation, every partnership helps ensure the continuity of our 24/7 support, crisis, and information services for LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones.
Aiming Higher, with Desjardins by Our Side
Last year, thanks to your support, we raised $173,000 to sustain our vital services for LGBTQ+ communities and those who care about sexual and gender diversity. This year, we're aiming even higher.
And we are honoured to have Desjardins as the new official presenter of La Grande Démesure for 2025 and 2026.
"Desjardins has been proud to partner with Interligne since 2019 — a collaboration that fully reflects our values of equity, diversity, and inclusion. By becoming the official presenter of La Grande Démesure, we reaffirm our commitment to LGBTQ+ communities and our desire to contribute to a society where everyone can thrive in respect and dignity. La Grande Démesure isn't just a festive event — it's a powerful moment of solidarity, recognition, and collective momentum."
— Estelle Theng, Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Respect for Individuals, Desjardins"La Grande Démesure represents the world we want to see: connection, joy, recognition, and care. For Interligne's 45th anniversary, we want to create an unforgettable moment — one where every person present feels part of a vibrant community, and of something big, meaningful, and impactful."
— Pascal Vaillancourt, Executive Director, Interligne
An Anniversary Edition for the Whole Community
La Grande Démesure 2025 will be more than just a benefit event.
It will be an intergenerational gathering — a space to bring together the living fabric of our communities: LGBTQ+ people, allies, partners, elected officials, donors, family members, advocates, and friends.
A moment to honour our journeys, recognize our struggles, build new connections, and celebrate commitment in all its forms — with joy, gratitude, and hope.
