Whether you saw pop being poured over clear umbrellas, or were mesmerized by the bright honeycomb light displays, Saskatoon's iteration of Nuit Blanche drew large crowds to the riverbank for its third annual festival.

This year's Nuit Blanche festival centred around the subject of food with the theme "creative cuisine as agent of change".

Curated by Wayne Baerwaldt, artistic projects included a wide range of performances and displays on the subject of food. Artists set up along the riverbank in Victoria Park and along River Landing beside the Senator Sid Buckwold Bridge. 

Nuit Blanche Saskatoon ran from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. CST.
