What Is It?
The Montreal High Lights Festival is essentially ten days -- 11 in 2012 -- of culinary events, live music, performance art, exhibits, light shows and free activities. The final day concludes with the overwhelmingly popular Nuit Blanche, an all-night overdose of free arts, culture, science, food, winter sports and music than runs from 6 p.m. until dawn.
