La noche en blanco is a unique festival which is due to take place in the Spanish capital, Madrid, on 13th September 2008. It is the third such festival and is scheduled to take place with the full moon lighting up the city.

The festival which is aimed at endorsing commitment to sustainability and public transport attempts to bring the best of contemporary art closer to all citizens of the city in addition to visitors.
