The initiative Temple Bar Cultural Trust / Dublin City Council, Culture Night intially began as an innovative but relatively modest local event in 2006 with 40 venues opening free and late in the evening in Dublin's Temple Bar, expanding citywide in 2007, more than doubling in size with 87 cultural institutions participating.
By 2010, the number of cities involved had doubled to 20 throughout the Republic, including the islands of Tory and Inis Meáin, the Gaeltacht regions and north of the border Derry joined Belfast in hosting Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir.
Renowned Irish designer Helen Steele and members of brand-new female trad supergroup, Biird, will be on hand to launch the event this year that reflects Culture Night's 20 years of championing openness, discovery, and belonging through culture.
Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir 2025 returns on Friday, 19th September with an expansive programme of late-night free events across Ireland, spotlighting the very best of our country's rich and diverse cultural landscape.
The launch will take place on Wednesday at IMMA with photo opportunities at 10am-11am and interview opportunities from 11am-11:3oam.
