Our resident Paris Drinks Fest interviewer Sylvia Bloomfield sat down with Absolute Treat for a little ASMR and a chat on the soccer field. Tune in to hear about their song recently featured on Heated Rivalry, their Paris Drinks Fest performance, what Paris, Ontario has that Paris, France doesn’t, and more ⚽️🍷

We chatted with Gizmo to find out what Paris, ON has that Paris, FR does not, what exactly a gizmo is, and more on Day 1 of Paris Drinks Fest.

Day 2, we’ll see you soon!
