3. Nuit Blanche Toronto
Up from #4
Toronto
Making its welcomed return to an in-person format after taking a virtual approach in 2020 and being canceled in 2021, this year's Nuit Blanche Toronto—a dusk-to-dawn contemporary arts festival produced by the City of Toronto—celebrated its 16th year with more than 170 inspiring projects from 130 local artists on display throughout the city. The 2022 edition of the annual all-night event featured more indigenous, Black, and artists of color than ever with local, national, and international representation. For the first time, Nuit Blanche Toronto expanded into new areas of the city, including downtown, Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough. More than 35 projects will remain on display as part of the Nuit Blanche Toronto Extended Projects program, the event’s largest extended program to date. Next: Oct. 7, 2023
