Raves and mermaids are coming to Nuit Blanche in Toronto
Nuit Blanche in Toronto isn't just about the official exhibits. A number of groups are also creating so-called renegade exhibits that are not endorsed by the event's programmers. You might not even realize they're happening until you're in the middle of a light show, a forest rave, or a top secret mermaid security camera show.
