White Night Melbourne is a State Government of Victoria initiative created by the Victorian Major Events Company, and produced by White Night Melbourne Productions. The original concept for White Night (Nuit Blanche) was born in Paris in 2002, with the concept to make art and culture accessible to large audiences within public spaces. Paris’ Nuit Blanche (White Night) has inspired an international network of White Night events in over 20 cities globally, with each city adapting the event to reflect its unique artists and creativity.

White Night Melbourne joined the ranks of these global cities on Saturday 23 February 2013. Melbourne has embraced this unique opportunity to showcase local and international artists and provide a platform for their work. White Night Melbourne returned for its second year on Saturday 22 February 2014, increasing in popularity and quickly becoming Australia’s most celebrated major cultural event.

White Night Melbourne will again be held on Saturday 21 February 2015 and bigger than ever. With a programme of over 80+ free events, you may not be sure where to start your journey. Head over to the White Night Melbourne website and check out the suggested itineraries to guide you through the streets. Cultural highlights include music, film, interactive displays, light shows and international performances.

If you make it past 2:00am we recommend seeing our friends Total Giovanni at the Indie Music stage. They start at 2.15am. ‘Total Giovanni is an experience. It is a feeling.’ It is a must do. Also don’t miss I could have danced all night, presented by VicHealth. It returns for the third year and is another fun-filled dance extravaganza! It’s part of VicHealth’s Art Arts Strategy which encourages Victorians to get physically active and improve mental wellbeing.

We can’t wait to see what Melbourne has in store for us this year! See you there.
