Nuit blanche à Montréal (White Night or All-Nighter)













WHAT?
A culture marathon of 180 activities+
WHEN? Tonight to tomorrow morning
WHY? We all like to stay up late
COST? Mostly free

More than 165 activities are planned in the Old Port, Place des Arts, the Plateau Mont-Royal and Mile-End areas. From live performances, music, exhibitions and design. It is not to late to decide on a plan of action. Here are some of tam+sam free recommendations. See you there!



Start by checking out the winter fairyland in the Place des Festivals. Watch films for free on the unique Cinerobotheque and Cinema ONF stations with access to 10,000+ films. Then warm both your body, heart and soul to lively gospel music at the Chapelle Notre Dame de Bon Secours.

While wandering in that area, get lost in Quais du Vieux-Port's Labyrinthe maze. Next go to the Biodome to explore their nocturnal creatures in action.

Stop by Art Souterrain (underground art) to view 80 Photos+, videos, installations and performance pieces from 110 contemporary artists in two miles of corridors of the underground city.

For the Fashionista's, visit W Hotel's 5 fashion photographers exhibit. Spend some time at the abandoned New City Gas Company's Disco party or try the SAT (Societe des arts technologiques) for their unique tag-team style dj's and vj's.

Why not relax with fusion yoga, at Zazen Spa, where a mystical DJ will be present. Then chill out at the CCA (Centre Canadien d'architecture) as they celebrate Nuit blanche with an outdoor cinema and ice bar. Then cap it off at Parc Jean Drapeau for some freestyle snowboarding, skating and sledding.

The night is young...


PS: To help you out, the Montreal transport system will be open all night and the city is providing special + free shuttle buses between participating districts.
