Hemingway once wrote "Nobody goes to bed in Madrid until they've killed the night". Locals heartily practise this during White Night in Madrid. The extravaganza of arts and cultural events takes place every September full moon, between sundown and sunrise.
Over 150 activities make up the ten-hour Noche en Blanco. The entire city is taken over by live music, light projections, street theatre and more. Parks, museums and galleries stay open all night for special tours, exhibitions and interactive projects, where the public work with professionals to produce pieces of art like films or collages.
The White Night (or Nuit Blanche) phenomenon started in Paris in 2002 and has since spread to other cities across the world. Brussels, Rome, Riga, and Bucharest all make up the European White Night series.
