Culture Night will reach its 17th year in 2022 and is due to take place on Friday 23 September.

Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir 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.

Culture Night has expanded to towns and villages across Ireland since its origins in Temple Bar, Dublin in 2006. Now under the stewardship of the Arts Council, this 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.
