SILO NIGHTS at Public Pier

September 18, 2026 8 p.m. -
October 4, 2026 7 a.m.
Off Campus

SILO NIGHTS at Public Pier is curated by OCAD University as part of Public Pier, presented by The Bentway, Harbourfront Centre, OCAD University, and Waterfront BIA. On Friday and Saturday nights for three weekends, beginning September 18, Toronto’s waterfront lights up after dark. SILO NIGHTS transforms the iconic Canada Malting Silos into a giant canvas for immersive art and storytelling — featuring international artists, student collaborations, and Canadian and world premieres. The series culminates on October 3 with a Nuit Blanche grand finale, in partnership with the European Union (EU) through its Delegation to Canada, with two projections exploring the theme, What We Carry Forward.
