Nuit Blanche is a night (7 pm - 4 am) where people can come together, a night where unusual and contemporary creativity come together in a pleasant and festive atmosphere. Nuit Blanche will moreover be part of the Belgian presidency of the EU. This year, the route includes the Rue Antoine Dansaert (pedestrian) as far as the rue Léon Lepage and then along various Quais: à la Chaux, au Foin, au Bois à Brûler, aux Pierres de Taille, du Commerce,… to the place Sainctelette. For the first time, themed evenings will be held in the National Theatre (Boulevard Jacqmain), in Le Fuse (Place du Jeu de Balle) and at Madame Moustache (Vismet).
Nuit Blanche (literally White Night, All-Nighter or Sleepless Night in French) or Light Night is an annual all-night or night-time arts festival. Its exact beginning is disputed between Paris, St Petersburg, and Berlin, but, taking elements from all of these, the idea of a night-time festival of the arts has spread around the world since 1997, taking hold from Toronto to Tel Aviv and Lima to Leeds. A Nuit Blanche will typically have museums, private and public art galleries, and other cultural institutions open and free of charge, with the centre of the city itself being turned into a de facto art gallery, providing space for art installations, performances (music, film, dance, performance art), themed social gatherings, and other activities
