The famed and adored White Night Festival will return to Melbourne in February 2015. Following its inaugural 2013 debut, the festival grew in 2014 and this coming event looks to continue the upward trend. The festival will once again transform the city into a live art installation, with multimedia light shows, live music, streets performances and film screening peppered across the streets.

The overnight dusk-till-dawn event takes place from 7pm on Saturday the 21st of February until 7am the next day. Whilst the full line up of events is being kept under wraps until December, if 2014¡¯s lineup, including Client Liasion, Beaches, Baptism of Uzi, Ash Keaton¡¯s Continuum visual artwork and the Northern Lights music stage, is anything to go by, this is going to be a real treat.

Artistic director Andrew Walsh is currently opening his inbox to expressions of interest from performers, artists, businesses and organisations to get involved in the 2015 event, so if you¡¯re a busker or a juggler with a taste for the innovative, why not shoot him a message below?

Festival organisers are hoping the 2015 event is their biggest yet- and with more than 500,000 people attending this year¡¯s event, be ready for crowds and queuing if you¡¯re not arriving at hot spots nice and early. Nonetheless, the festival looks to take place across an even larger section of the CBD than before. Walsh has remarked that the event is hoping to expand out to Russell and Elizabeth Streets, which will be sanctioned off into pedestrian friendly areas.

White Night Melbourne is inspired by Paris¡¯ Nuit Blanche, which has spawned over 20 local variations around the globe. Melbourne remains the only city in Australia which has adopted the overnight celebration of life, art and culture.
