This year’s Nuit Blanche event in Winnipeg was a feast for the eyes and mind. And if you’re a person who uses a camera to bring eye and mind together, well…it was a must-see.
Weather in this part of the world is always hit or miss when one season changes to another, but the first such event since the start of the pandemic was blessed with perfect weather and although it’s totally unscientific and just my observation, easily the biggest crowds in many years. Maybe ever.
Following are a few images from just a few spots on a fantastic Saturday night, including a funky disco event by the Peg City Rollers and the lead image of Mateo Lopez who along with the Free Spirit Fire group really lit up the night. Fantastic!
