Dec. 21, 2024 - Enter a waking dream as King Street Station is transformed in celebration of the longest night of 2024.
Full of music performances, guided movement, wellness activities, participatory rituals, and countless inventions culled from subconscious states, LONGEST NIGHT is a communally-minded, season-inspired Solstice party that brings light to the liminal space of the year’s darkest day.
Curated by Vee Hua 華婷婷 and presented by ARTS at King Street Station.
