Build a personalized My Night itinerary before you head out, download the Night Navigator app and use GPS technology to navigate your route, or take the mobile version of the event website with you on the road.

Each year close to one million revellers are on the streets for this event. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, head out after the peak hours of 8pm-1am. If you're an early bird, consider hopping out of bed in the wee hours of Sunday morning to enjoy the event and watch the sun rise (3am-7am).

Avoid driving downtown and take advantage of the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) extended Nuit Blanche services. Public transit is the best way to get to and from the event. If you are driving in the city, be sure to review the road closures in effect.

Cycling is a great way to see as many projects across the city as possible. Don't forget a safety light, bell and helmet.

Check out BIXI, Toronto's public bike system � $5 will give you unlimited trips (of 30 minutes or less) all night long.

Start your art adventure at any of the three Scotiabank Information Centres. Pick up event guides and maps or ask for assistance from the friendly Information Ambassadors. You'll also find first aid and portable washrooms nearby.

Find more than 150 friendly volunteer Information Ambassadors located at all information centres and roaming through all zones. Volunteers will be wearing white Scotiabank Nuit Blanche jackets. Keep your eyes open for them!

Trained Art Guides will be available at many of the Exhibition sites to offer information and facilitate your understanding and enjoyment of the projects.

Art Guides meet directly with the artists and curators to develop an in-depth comprehension of the work, the creative process and how to interpret the work so that they are able to share this information with you. Look for Art Guides in white jackets and wearing "Ask Me About the Art" buttons. You will find them near many of the Exhibition Projects.

From sunset to sunrise you'll find a delicious array of great food vendors out on the streets at five new Rest Areas. Drop by for a midnight snack and take a seat before you head back out into the night. You'll also find portable washrooms nearby.

 Look for the knife & fork symbol on some project pages which identifies locations offering late-night refreshments. Call the individual venues to confirm hours and menu.

In each zone, all Exhibition Projects and Independent Projects have been assigned a map number. You'll find these numbers beside the project descriptions on the website and in the event guide. Look for signs at the event with the correlating number to help you find your way and plan your route. Near each project you'll also find an artist statement sign to give you some insight into the work.
