From gourmet food trucks in Parques Mejorada and San Juan to Lila Downs at the Plaza Grande, tomorrow is packed with free activities under the heading of “La Noche Blanca.”
The sprawling six-hour festival of 120 activities in 57 venues such as parks and galleries, will be held Saturday. Most events begin at 8 p.m. (a few start much later; Lila Downs concert begins at 11:30 p.m.) and continues to the wee hours of the morning.
