This year, Tension is ready to turn the Village into our playground. As a central hub for the 2025 fetish weekend, we’re pulling out all the stops to offer a lineup of events that are sexy, creative, and accessible to anyone who wants to be part of the action.
Here’s a taste of what’s coming:
Ready or Knot
A Tension classic—for those who crave a relaxed, ropey environment to play, explore, and connect. Or head on up to Frixion, if you have a taste for the shadows and let your inner freak come out to play. This Fetish Weekend, Ready or Knot returns with a two-floor playground of erotic chaos, twisted delights, and beautiful deviants.
Expect intense featured scenes, curious guests, and themed rooms designed for everything from slow seduction to raw intensity. Whether you're craving rope, impact, voyeurism, exhibitionism—or just that electric charge of being surrounded by kink-curious bodies—you’ll find your spark here.
**Limited number of MFW VIP Pass holders will be admitted as part of the Montreal Fetish Weekend.
Afternoon workshops destination both FRI & SAT
During Montreal Fetish Weekend, the city will be buzzing with conferences, workshops, and demonstrations—and Tension will be at the heart of it all.
This year, Willcat’s annual shibari demonstration and Q&A returns—always a crowd favorite, offering an accessible and captivating look into the art and philosophy of Japanese rope bondage. For 2025, this popular session will take place right here at Tension, giving participants an intimate and hands-on experience with the space and its community.

Finish with a BANG!
As Fetish Weekend winds down, we’re turning up the heat one last time. Go Out With a Bang is a high-intensity play party where nothing is censored and everything is welcome. Come ride the weekend’s final wave in an environment that’s raw, unapologetic, and ready to burn bright before the curtain drops.
