Hendrick’s Gin returns to Nuit Blanche Toronto with a multi-sensory, all-night experience that includes the first public participation for the penchants of peculiar at the annual citywide celebration.
“Hendrick’s is a gin that cultivates the unusual,” comments Beth-Anne Perry, Senior National Brand Manager, Hendrick's Gin. “Bringing the spectacular world of Hendrick’s Gin to life with our L.E.V.I.T.A.T.R.E. experience at City Hall allows us to engage our guests in a whimsically magnificent way. We are thrilled to be back in Toronto for our second year in a row and look forward to celebrating the wonder of Nuit Blanche Toronto with over 1 million Canadians who come out to enjoy it each year.”
Soaring into the sky for an exclusive Nuit Blanche Toronto appearance, the 65-foot L.E.V.I.T.A.T.R.E. (Levitating, Elevating, Voluminous, Illuminating, Tantalizing, Amazingly, Towering, Roaming, Eye) will elevate golden ticket holders to 44 ¼ cucumbers (44.25 feet) to soar from sunset to sunrise for a special birds-eye view of the city.
Hendrick’s Gin is also delighted to invite honored guests to the Air Departure Lounge for the peculiar pleasure of heeding the first ever notes played by the C.O.R.G.A.N. on City Hall grounds. The C.O.R.G.A.N.
