For one night only, Toronto won't be overtaken by lights. It won't be overtaken by people. It will be overtaken by art. This night will be October 4, from exactly 6:52 PM to sunrise.
During these 12 short hours, Toronto will showcase the top works of art galleries and museums in 155 distinct locations. After smashing successes in both 2006 and 2007, this free event earned the approval of over 800,000. One of them was Mayor David Miller who proudly announced that there will be another "celebration of creativity, culture and contemporary art."
But chart your path early to make the most of your time touring the streets, enchanted by art. You can choose to walk through one or two of the three "zones" or just view all of them.
If you are interested in viewing all of them, it is best to purchase a TTC day pass for $9.00, allowing you to have unlimited travel. There will also be several bus routes called the "Blue Night" routes that will run.
However, I would recommend sticking to a zone that you are particularly interested in. The themes will help you select:
- Zone A will explore some of Toronto's most famed attractions such as Maple Leaf Gardens and City Hall
- Zone B will be home to many historical landmarks as well as a 19th century feel
- Zone C will be most impressive, with 50 destinations and some astounding special effects
No matter what you do though, you'll be in awe at the incredible displays of true Toronto culture.
