SLEEPLESS NIGHT Schedule of Events!

As many of you know, I am working with the City of Miami Beach on an incredible event called SLEEPLESS NIGHT.

SLEEPLESS NIGHT is a citywide, free cultural extravaganza occurring from 6pm - 6am on November 3rd throughout Miami Beach. Modeled after Europe's White Night ( NYTimes Article), SLEEPLESS NIGHT will feature continuous cultural programming on Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road, in Collins Park and North Beach, with all areas linked by free shuttle buses. The festivities will end with a sunrise breakfast on the beach at 5am!

SLEEPLESS NIGHT will be an annual affair that will grow exponentially and will further put our area on the map as a cultural hotspot!

I have pasted the preliminary schedule of events below, but please visit www.sleeplessnight.org for more info!

Everyone please:

1) SPREAD THE WORD! Please forward this message to your people.

2) ATTEND SLEEPLESS NIGHT! By the schedule below, you can see it will be unforgettable. If you need anymore convincing, let me know and I'll sell you on it :)

3) If you would like to be a SLEEPLESS NIGHT Sponsor, Volunteer or Participant, contact me at rebecca.mandelman@gmail.com or 917-734-1056.
