Culture Nights

The “Culture Nights” initiative, launched on a national level in Ireland by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in 2008, is an opportunity for participating towns and cities to showcase the best of their artistic and cultural heritage and facilities for free for one day a year. All National Cultural Institutions participate in the initiative. Cities and towns across Ireland participate in providing new and imaginative ways for people to participate in cultural life in all its diversity, free from time pressures or financial constraints.
