11 Nov O what a party!

At Sydney’s Waterfront Pavillion Thursday night, it’s The Party Of The Year — and that’s saying something in Cape Breton!

The Cape Breton Island Film Series‘ 4th annual benefit for L’Arche Cape Breton gets under way at 7 pm at the Empire Theatre with the acclaimed indie film GOODBYE SOLO, the story of two men from completely different backgrounds who form an unlikely friendship.

At 9, the action shifts to the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavillion, next to the Big Fiddle, for live music and dancing to the Blues Merchants and Cape Breton’s best Lebanese buffet. The whole L’Arche Community will be there, and they love to party. So it’s a chance to meet a remarkable group of men and women.

Tickets, available at the door, are $10 for the film; $20 for the party; or just $25 for both. Every dollar goes to L’Arche, thanks to the generosity of AECOM, AMEC, CBCL, City Printers, Conestoga Rovers, Empire Theatre, Framework Cycle and Fitness, Ramsay’s Honda, Sampson MacDougall, Schwartz and Co., Seaside Wireless, Sydney Credit Union, Unsworth Kachafanas, VMP Group.
