How to make the most of Napier’s biggest night – the free Nuit Blanche Festival

DJ Morgz is for those looking to experience a higher-energy set, while Dirty Secrets is for those looking to sing.

Lighting up the evening across the CBD is Circa Immersive, Visual Art and Floorless Dance Studios.

Wandering the streets and wowing the crowds will be a range of roving performers.

Free Launch Street Theatre will be towering over festival-goers on stilts, and Mr Fungus, the mime who refuses to stay quiet, is ready to entertain.

The entertainment covers all levels of height and adrenaline with The Coop Aerial Circus Cabaret, The Coop Local Aerial Performers, Circus in a Flash and Bay Skate Roller Disco.

For the kids, Master Tony’s magic and fire show is sure to impress and MiChalk Caricatures offers some self-amusement for all ages.

He isn’t the only one to use fire, as Circus in a Flash, and the Heidi and Sean Show will also.

For those after a calmer evening but still up for a good time, the festival’s Creative Spaces offer a Picasso Portrait Workshop, or silent Disco experience.
