Melbourne will come to life with White Night Reimagined, as the city's flagship creative event returns, transformed, for its seventh year. The event will mesmerise after dark revellers like never before, taking over Carlton Gardens, Treasury Gardens and Birrarung Marr for three consecutive nights, from 22nd – 24th August.

White Night has always been a celebration of Melbourne’s late-night culture, a city known for exciting live music, F&B, entertainment and creative cultural experiences that never stop, and this year the event will prominently feature art, performance, food and music.

The program for White Night Reimagined Melbourne was launched with the promise of transforming the city into a cultural mecca, in the heart of winter.

Taking inspiration from Melbourne’s gardens, White Night Reimagined Artistic Director, David Atkins has once again prepared a luminous program of creative experiences for Melbourne’s after dark crowd, with many of the pieces either on display for the first time in Australia or created exclusively for White Night Reimagined.
Each garden will be transformed into its own realm as artists from across the Melbourne and across the globe will take visitors on journeys mythological, mysterious and mesmerising. Birrarung Marr will become The Physical Realm, Treasury Gardens will become The Sensory Realm and Carlton Gardens will become The Spiritual Realm.

There’s never a better time to experience Melbourne’s iconic after dark culture, with many of the city’s iconic cultural institutions opening to the public throughout the night. Special programming and exclusive installations will run throughout the National Gallery of Victoria, State Library Victoria, and Melbourne Museum. The Arts Centre’s biannual Supersense festival will this year run as part of the White Night Reimagined program, with a collaborative experience – Superdrone – running on the final night.

Those in search of a late-night winter affair will be enthralled by the music program, while those needing a reprieve from the wintery night will find comfort in many of the city’s favourite restaurants, with a Melbourne Food & Wine Festival collaboration to be unveiled soon. The 2019 White Night Reimagined program can be found online and will continue to unfold in the weeks leading up to the event.

How attendees experience White Night Reimagined will be up to each visitor to design their own adventure. Venture to all three realms on a single night or take an entire evening to discover one precinct. The new White Night Reimagined format gives families the opportunity to enjoy the illuminations earlier while spreading the crowd over three nights will ease congestion and make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
