Thousands of people will be pulling an all-nighter Saturday to see more than 80 contemporary art projects stationed in various parts of Toronto during Nuit Blanche. 

The annual art festival, which will kick off at 7 p.m. and wrap up at 7 a.m. Sunday, means there will be several road closures, but also extended subway hours throughout downtown Toronto and Scarborough.

A map of the installations, designed by more than 300 artists, can be found on the Nuit Blanche website

Here’s everything else you need to know:

Subway 

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) says it will provide extended service through the wee hours of the morning for the festival.

Trains will run overnight on Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3.

Day passes purchased for use on Oct. 5 will be valid until 7 a.m. on Oct. 6. Access to Line 3 from Scarborough will be free during those same hours.

Event centres

If you end up lost, in need of a warm space, or if you’re looking for a printed map, you can stop by Nuit Blanche’s event centres in four locations.

Each of the centres will have food vendors, washrooms and first-aid services.

They centres can be found at Nathan Phillips Square, Yonge Dundas Square, Fort York Visitor Centre and at the Scarborough Civic Centre.
