Culture Night invites everyone everywhere, on
one joyful night, to discover and celebrate all that our culture is today.
The next Culture
Night is Friday 22 September 2023.
Culture Night is a national moment celebrating all that makes up the richness and diversity of culture in Ireland today; connecting people to cultural activities locally and nationally and opening up pathways to ongoing engagement. Culture Night is developed
in partnership with local authorities and many other organisations and individuals across the island.
Culture Night is about openness, discovery, celebration and belonging. Doors open late and special and unique events are programmed at participating locations, online and broadcast. All activities are free.
Over 1.1 million people engaged with Culture Night in 2022, in person, online and through broadcast. 57% of in person attendees are also visiting cultural spaces for the first time, this makes Culture Night a real strategic opportunity for audience development
year round. The Arts Council marked the 70th anniversary of its very first meeting on 25th January 1952. On Culture Night to mark this anniversary we partnered with Irish Rail and Bus Éireann for a special book gifting project called Read Mór
In 2022 a number of flagship Culture Night Late events took place in towns and cities.
This initiative was created in response to public interest in late events and the Report of the Late Night Economy Taskforce (September 2021).
