M.A.D., which stands for Mode, Arts, and Divertissement, is a festival founded by the M.A.D. Collective that has celebrated self-expression and creativity for over a quarter-century. Each year, it showcases local designer fashion shows alongside extraordinary musical and artistic performances in an inspiring setting. In 2025, for its 25th anniversary, the Festival M.A.D. partnered with the From Us to You Foundation, co-founded by Patrick and Jordan Laine, and with Isabelle Éthier to raise funds for combating stigma and improving access to therapy for people with mental health challenges. The festival has also launched the #dresstoexpress movement, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and self-expression.
