National Bank First Night June 8, 2012

National Bank First Night – 6th Annual Luminato Festival Opening Night Concerts

National Bank is proud to kick off Toronto's festival of arts and creativity this Friday, June 8th! K’NAAN and Kae Sun, two of Canada’s most dynamic young singer-songwriters ignite the Luminato festival stage on National Bank First Night in a free concert for all.

Join us at National Bank's Fountain of Lights hub to experience the ultimate Luminato lounge. Open beginning noon on Friday, stop by, enjoy the music and relax. Enjoy a Dolce Gusto custom cup of coffee. Win instant prizes at the wishing well in the hub. Pick a National Bank token, toss it in, make a wish, and win big! All proceeds raised from the wishing well will be donated to Breakfast Clubs of Canada. Plus, all token-tossers will be entered to win a trip for two to the grand destination of lights and architecture, Chicago.

It is important for National Bank to give back to their clients and partners, along with the city and neighbourhoods in which they do business. Through supporting arts and culture initiatives, the bank aims to generate positive benefits for local communities. Born out of the cultural and creative energy of Toronto, Luminato allows National Bank to support, nurture, and rejoice in our Canadian talent.
