Founded in 2008, Nocturne: Art at Night Festival (Nocturne) is a free, independent, contemporary art festival in Kjipuktuk (Halifax). Annually, 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). This year, Nocturne will take place from October 17-20, 2024.

Nocturne acknowledges that the majority of our festival programming is often not sensory-friendly. For instance, projects often include bright lights, loud noises, and large crowds. This low-sensory call was designed to provide sensory-friendly programming during daytime hours as part of the festival at the Halifax Public Gardens on Sunday, October 20, 2024.
