Article content When it kicked off in late February of 2020, the organizers of last year’s Montréal en lumière festival couldn’t have foreseen 2021 being the first edition of Nuit Blanche to send Montrealers home early. While a curfew of 8 p.m. still in effect, the night may feel like it’s cut short, but a blend of physical and virtual activities will make it last longer.

The challenge of Montréal en lumière foodie fare going all-digital

Article content For the past year, most festivals here have had to mount digital versions of their events because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But that transition seems downright easy for music or film fests compared with the challenge of organizing a food-focused festival online. With music, you can do virtual concerts, while films can easily be screened online. Doing a food fest online is the dilemma facing Montréal en lumière, which kicks off Thursday. Foodie fare is a key part of this festival and this year’s edition is built around a unique blend of digital food programming and some real-world fare that can happen even within the context of a world constrained by all sorts of public health rules.
