Nuit Blanche in Montreal is the city’s late-winter adrenaline shot, where the sheer energy of a one-night-only takeover hits a swath of the city's streets, museums, galleries, and underground venues. As a major highlight of MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, this all-night celebration transforms the city into its own sprawling festival-within-a-festival of art, music, performance, and unfiltered revelry—and hundreds of free events unfolding in every direction.
Whether you want to dance till sunrise, explore pop-up exhibitions, or kick back as you watch the city come alive with neon, there’s no wrong way to do it—and thanks to 24-hour metro service, getting around is as effortless as giving in to the night.
With so much happening, navigating the chaos can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in: We’ve scoured the lineup and pulled together the events you don’t want to miss.

Editor's note: To honour the work of MTL 24/24, we know it's not connected to Nuit Blanche, but the timeless photos captured from this event are perfect for this guide. Sorry not sorry, don't @ us. Thank you.
