Over 1.3 million punters have taken on an all-nighter over the course of White Night, which features installations, light shows and street performances in unexpected locations throughout the city including the NGV and State Library. Melbourne joins 23 cities across the globe to host the festival including Paris, Toronto and Sao Paolo.
In a statement detailing the event, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said, “Victoria is the major events capital and next year’s festival will be a spectacular like no other.”
The announcement comes after Melbourne’s White Night contract expired after the last festival in February, where organizers expanded the festival to ease foot-traffic congestion.
