The Montreal All-Nighter Sweeps the Belgo

NuitBlanche2009-banner

Make sure you get a lot of sleep this week, so you’re ready to burn the midnight oil this Saturday. The Montreal High Lights Festival closes this weekend with it’s grand finale, the Montreal All-Nighter. Twelve galleries in the Belgo building will stay open all night to welcome visitors. Most events start at about 8:00pm and end around 2:00am, but some start earlier and end later. For details, check out the programme on the Montreal All-Nighter website here: http://www.montrealenlumiere.com

Here’s a round-up of who’s participating this year. And if you get a little tired, the Café Crème in the Belgo will stay open as well, and I heartily recommend their lattés for a good buzz.
