Itinerary:

Nuit Blanche is an annual all- night arts festival (some pics from 2013). The 2016 festival will showcase around 100 art installations and exhibitions created by local and international artists. Admission is free for all the exhibits.

We'll meet outside the Museum station, and then walk traverse the Downtown area to visit the various art installations (Route plan: Part 1, Part 2). I plan to walk around 8 km to Yonge-Dundas Square until around midnight, but you can drop out anytime. (I might drop out mid-way too, if the weather is bad!) TTC and GO will run extended night service.

I plan to cover the following sites, but feel free to drop-out and explore other sites.
