From sunset to sunrise: Nuit Blanche returns to Toronto this Saturday with even more locations
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Nuit Blanche, you’ve been missed. Thankfully, the event is finally coming back to transform Toronto into an open-air art gallery.
And this year, Nuit Blanche, which was launched in 2006, is bigger than ever.
The theme this year is “The Space Between Us,” which “invites artists to build bridges between cultures, communities and the environment, transforming the city with stories about their connection to place.”
Seems apt after all the lockdowns and cancelled events we’ve endured in the past few years.

In addition to works by over 150 artists, there’s going to be so much more to explore as the festival has expanded to include other areas outside the downtown core. Art lovers will be able to find installations and artwork in places like Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough.
Some cool installations include a colourful ballpit in Scarborough by Morris Wazney, an illuminated tipi by Cheryl L’Hirondelle in Nathan Phillips Square, and an abstract installation by Sun K. Kwak.
