Limerick launches ‘twilight' initiative to boost night-time economy
Limerick council is launching a new 'twilight' initiative to boost the night-time economy, starting from this Thursday. Twilight Thursdays will run on the last Thursday of every month, offering a mix of family-friendly fun, live music, food and drink experiences, as well as cultural showcases. Presented by Limerick City and County Council, the initiative is designed to energise the city's night-time economy and cultural life, and invite locals and visitors alike to explore the city after dark in 'a safe, welcoming' atmosphere. A number of bars and restaurants are offering a range of food and drink offers on Twilight Thursday. Limerick City is one of nine locations selected to participate in the national Night Time Economy pilot programme, which is supported and funded by the Department of Culture. Mayor of Limerick John Moran said the initiative was all about 'reimagining Limerick after dark'. 'This initiative is about more than just one Thursday a month, it's a movement to showcase Limerick's incredible culture, energy, and the ability to do things differently. We want people to embrace the opportunity to support local businesses, meet friends, and above all, enjoy themselves. Whether you're discovering a new venue, enjoying live music, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Twilight Thursdays will undoubtedly improve our city's night-time offering. Let's make this a tradition that brings our community together.' Night-time economy adviser at Limerick City and County Council, Craig Power, said: 'Twilight Thursdays marks an important step in reimagining Limerick's night-time offering. We encourage everyone to take part in this first edition and look forward to building on its success with even more exciting offerings in the months ahead.'
