Three Ways to Navigate Nuit Blanche
by Sara Angel and Chris Bilton
—
The massively successful all-night contemporary art event/ creative orgy/ outdoor bender Nuit Blanche returns this Saturday (running from 6:59 p.m. to sunrise), and short of a Maple Leafs Stanley Cup win, you’ll never see the streets of this city more jam-packed and alive at night.
Naturally, with a huge-scale happening like this, everyone’s experience of the night will be radically different. To help you map it out in advance, we’ve provided three routes: The Dabbler (for those of you who only want to spend a couple of hours pounding the pavement); The All-Nighter (for the hard-core art devotee who wants to see the sun come up); and The Boozehound (for those of you who think art looks best through a pair of beer goggles).
Of course, we also advise you to consume your alcohol and your art responsibly—an excess of either can sometimes lead to obnoxious behaviour.
