Like a midsummer night’s dream, this new edition promises an unprecedented moment at the edge of reality. Now that Nuit Blanche is stepping into the sunny days, why not seize the chance to seek out outdoor events? Here’s the rundown of the open-air program for this edition waiting for you this Saturday, June 6, 2026.
