6th edition of the Montreal All-Nighter on Saturday, February 28, 2009
For its 5th edition, the Montreal All-Nighter offers over 100 activities
to an ever-growing flock of night-owls. It’s a night that promises a memorable climax
to the 9th edition of the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival.
Keep your eyes and ears opened for our program of wild, eclectic activities: dance
to tango or techno; discover an array of Québécois artists in our galeries and museums;
groove to the sounds of electronica, jazz, pop or classical; lose yourself in romantic
or horror films; fill the aisles of local theatres; embark on a journey with storytellers
and their fantastical fables; strap on your skates or toss a frisbee… Join family
and friends in this winter tradition and celebrate your city by moonlight! And then
cap it all off at the already legendary free Convivial Breakfast presented by Milk
in complexe Desjardins at 4:30 a.m. Be our guest!
Come experience the magical side of Montreal in one wild night. You’ll never want
to leave!
Have a good All-Nighter! The Festival team
NUITS BLANCHES AROUND THE GLOBE
Once again last year, new cities joined the global party by staging their own first
Nuit Blanche. Chicago debuted its Looptopia last May 11, while Miami introduced
its Sleeplessnight last November 3, both to great popular acclaim! On June 1, 2007,
Shanghai organized its own Nuit Blanche in close collaboration with Paris, the dean
of Nuit Blanche cities. And in 2008, Tokyo and New York are preparing to celebrate
the arts all the way through the wee hours.
All over the world, Nuit Blanche are the rage… and Montreal gets the party started!
