Nuit Blanche Toronto

If you’ve ever wanted to stay up all night for a city-wide art crawl, Nuit Blanche 2019 is your annual opportunity! Toronto welcomes the festival back to the city on October 5th from 7 pm – 7 am (you read that time right!) in support of our vibrant arts scene. The all-night celebration brings together independent artists, galleries, and museums for an interactive and immersive experience. Nuit Blanche 2019 will feature hundreds of artists and nearly 90 projects with 9 of them remaining on display through until October 14th.

 

The theme for this year is Continuum.

“The theme follows many paths during the event – set against a backdrop of the ever-present renewal of night into day, a continuum of experience and ideas is brought to light by the participating artists.”

There’s much to discover and we’re pleased to welcome various installations to the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood. If you’re planning your night out, we encourage the use of our printable parking map.  You can also plan your pre-art dining options.
