Melbourne's inaugural all night cultural festival White Night last Saturday was spectacular...the city was transformed...more than 300,000 people attended and it was a wonderful evening/morning from 7pm to 7 am...
The night opened with mirror balls suspended over the Federation Square site as instructors taught members of the public how to zumba...
There were so many beautiful buildings with innovative lighting ideas...and there were a series of art exhibitions and concerts. Venues open all night included ACMI, NGV, the Arts Centre and Hamer Hall.. so many fantastic arts events with most of them free entry...over 300 artists performed in 47 locations
The laneways with lights erupting from the ground in all different colours...with performers on every corner

Flinders Street Station became a theatre and the very popular RockWiz Orkestra transformed the station steps into a grand open air stage. The clocks above showed the next train times for Sandringham and St Albans, as RockWiz opened with a great version of "Show Me The Way To St Louis"... Flinders Street Station suddenly became a huge outdoor concert venue....

Did you go to the event? I would love to hear what you thought about it and what was your favourite, if any....
However, if you missed it, put it in your diary for next year....
This is a must do Australian event...Wendy
