White Night Melbourne
The international arts and culture all-nighter is coming to Melbourne for the very first time. Don't tell Mum. From 7pm to 7am, the city will be teeming with projection art, performance, film, lights, and live music.
Overview
It's true, Melbourne has a lot of festivals. Big festivals, piccolo festivals, and "why in hell is there a festival for that?" festivals. Well, we like to celebrate, alright? Just like Kimmy K, we'd go to the opening of an envelope if there was a chance of our face making it into the society pages.
White Night Melbourne is another festival, but with a nocturnal twist — it all takes place over 12 hours, from 7pm until 7am (it's after my bedtime too, but worth it). Since its establishment in Europe in the early '90s, White Night has expanded all over the world, with Melbourne the latest city to join the line-up.
The program is teeming with activities, spread out across eight themed areas, mostly within the CBD grid but extending to Birrarung Marr and the Melbourne Museum. Expect projection art, performance, film, lights, and live music — a bombardment of colour, noise, and merriment that will display Melbourne’s thriving cultural scene, or a concentrated, hyperactive, crack-fuelled version of it, anyway.
Before you break out in a stress rash because it's all a little 'whelming, regain control in this crazy world of chaos by reading our roadmap to the festival to find out how to make the most of Melbourne's funnest night watch.
