Press Release

Hydro-Québec presents the 9th edition of the Nuit blanche à Montréal: a very colorful night!

Hydro-Québec is happy to invite festival-goers to the Nuit blanche à Montréal, a major event of MONTREAL EN LUMIÈRE, which will take place during the night of Saturday, February 25 and Sunday, February 26.

170 activities, most of them free, are planned for this magical night: museum visits, poetry, film, music, song, skating, artists’ workshops, art galleries, even winter swimming—to name but a few!

As part of this event, Hydro-Québec invites night owls of all ages to visit its head office lobby, where they can view the striking luminous mural by Jean-Paul Mousseau. Free guided tours will be given between 6 p.m. on Saturday and 5 a.m. Sunday morning.

Since a few years, the Nuit blanche à Montréal raised itself on the same rank as similar events held in Paris, Riga, Madrid and Brussels!

Hydro-Québec invites the public to experience this unique event and celebrate the urban magic of winter—shining bright throughout the Festival!
