Nuit Blanche is now universally translated as Sleepless Night.

Nuit Blanche brings more than a million people to the streets of Toronto every year.

From sunset to sunrise, spaces throughout the city are transformed into temporary exhibitions.

If you’re in Toronto and haven’t seen it, you still have time.

The installation will be running until October 13.
