Literally (White Night or All-Nighter in French) is an annual all-night arts festival held in Toronto and around the world during the first weekend of October
It is currently sponsored by Scotiabank and has been running for 5 years.
"Scotiabank Nuit Blanche engaged audiences in a massive participatory celebration of contemporary art. Building on the success of past event's interactive art projects, the concept of audience participation was taken to a whole new level. The public literally became the art they had ventured out all night to see. New interactive tools including the Night Navigator iPhone/Blackberry app and My Night itinerary encouraged everyone to share pictures and schedules, tweet, text and talk to each other as they explored the city well into the wee hours of the morning."
