This weekend, Toronto will be transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity as the much-anticipated Nuit Blanche arts festival lights up the city’s streets. From downtown to North York and south Etobicoke, captivating art installations will adorn the urban landscape, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday and run until 7 a.m. on Sunday, Nuit Blanche promises a night of artistic wonder and exploration. However, with great art comes great preparation, and road closures will be implemented to accommodate the festival’s setup and duration.
As the city gears up for the event, Toronto police have announced road closures in different areas:
Downtown:
Road closures will begin on Friday and be fully enforced by noon on Saturday.
North York:
Around Mel Lastman Square, road closures will come into effect starting at noon on Saturday.
Etobicoke:
In the vicinity of Humber College Lakeshore, road closures will be in place by noon on Saturday.
To ensure minimal disruption, all roadways are expected to reopen by 12 p.m. on Sunday. However, drivers are advised to anticipate traffic delays in the affected areas and seek alternative routes if possible.
Additionally, the TTC’s surface routes will be diverted within the festival zones, so attendees are encouraged to plan their transportation accordingly for a smooth and enjoyable experience at Nuit Blanche.
