Founded in 2008, Nocturne: Art at Night Festival (Nocturne) is a free, independent, contemporary art festival in Kjipuktuk (Halifax). Nocturne brings 65,000+ people to the streets of Halifax and Dartmouth to experience art and celebrate the visual arts scene in Mi'kma'ki (Nova Scotia).

Curated by Marite Kuus, Nocturne will take place from October 16-19, 2025, and is seeking artists to participate in our 2025 programming through the development of a temporary public artwork that will be exhibited during daytime hours on Sunday, October 19th.
