A huge part ofNuit Blancheis the magic that happens outside of the festival's exhibitions. For the past few years, Stephanie Avery has been curatingLes Rues des Refues(the streets of rejects) to showcase artworks that fall outside of the official program. She's compiled adownloadable guidefilled with projects and installations that'll pop-up across the city throughout Saturday's all-night art event.

Here are my top picks for renegade exhibits at Nuit Blanche 2015.

The Nuit Blanche Renegade Parade 2015: March Of Magical Creatures
今年的年度叛离游行看起来像我一样t's Harry Potter themed. According to theevent description, the Canadian Ministry of Magic has abolished the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy for one night only because it needs help capturing a group of rogue magical creatures. Don ablack kigurumi(don't worry, you won't look like a Death Eater) and apparate over to 104 Ossington at sunset.

Take Back the Nuit
TheArtists Newsstandtook over thevacant kioskat Chester Station after running asuccessful Kickstarter campaignearlier this year. Fittingly, this DIY project is providing an alternative to the Nuit Blanche spectacle with a political dance party featuring DJs and performances from 7 p.m. until midnight.

Open Screen
TheWhite House Studio Projectat 277.5 Augusta Ave. in Kensington Market usually participates at Nuit Blanche in some capacity. This year, Monika Hauck and Alex Ricci are holding an open-mic (well, screen) style evening, allowing all artists to present their video-based work all night long.

Johnnyland Nuit Blanche Art and Music Festival
If you just want to dance it out on Saturday night, head to the Scadding Court community centre whereJohnnylandwill be hosting its annual free music and art festival. With 15 bands and artists lined up, the music will run for seven hours, from 6:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m.

Northern Beaver Gallery
Rebecca Houston's art vending machines/portable galleries are back. Three of them will pop up around the city, allowing anyone with a toonie to purchase a piece of genuine, locally made art.
