CULTURE NIGHT FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH 2024
Culture Night invites everyone, everywhere, on one joyful night to discover and celebrate all that our culture is today
The Culture Night experience is across a wide range of sectors – culture, arts, heritage, education, hospitality, tourism, health and commercial and corporate enterprise.
Its diversity is reflected in the scope and range of events and people who participate – and it aims to continue to connect with both engaged audiences as well as extending its reach to those who may not always have access.
Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir is brought to you by the Arts Council in partnership with and led by Carlow County Council Arts Service; it is a national moment, celebrating culture, creativity and the arts and seeks to actively promote the belief that this rich and varied culture is alive, treasured and nurtured in people's lives, today and every day. It is delivered nationwide in cities, towns villages and rural locations as well as online and through our media partners.
