White Night Melbourne

Inspired by the international Nuit Blanche movement, White Night Melbourne is an all-night, free cultural event that offers a mix of free and ticketed entertainment including visual art, spectacular illuminations, music, theatre, special dining experiences, film, design and performances.  I headed into the city centre just before sunset and spent a wonderful few hours watching some spectacular sound and light displays, listening to music, checking out some art installations, watching performing arts, and just generally loving being a part of the atmosphere.  Here are a few highlights:

A sound and light display on the wall of the NGV




 The Arts Centre spire was lit up spectacular colours all night

Federation Square


Opera inside St. Paul's Cathedral, with a light display in the background


Flinder's Street Station

An installation on the Town Hall


A sound and light display on the State Library


Performers from "Circus Circus" were all over the city

And to end my evening, several hours later, another fabulous sound and light display on the Royal Exhibition Building
