Registration is now open for Culture Night 2024

Culture Night/Oíche Chultúir organisers have launched an ‘Open Call’, inviting organisations and individuals interested in participating to log onto culturenight.ie/get-involved/ and share their ‘Expressions of Interest’ with their Local Authority Arts Office.

Culture Night is the annual all-island celebration of culture in Ireland and returns this year on Friday, September 2 next.

Across the island of Ireland, Culture Night/Oíche Chultúir is the one night each September for us all to show up for a collective experience of discovery and exploration in the rich and diverse variety of culture, creativity and the arts. From village to town to city and coast to coast, Culture Night celebrates the growing eclectic diversity of arts, culture and creativity right across the country. 1.2 million people joined in Culture Night last year.

This all-island cultural celebration could not happen without the commitment and dedication of thousands of people, organisations, venues and institutions who create thousands of events for us all to enjoy - from artists and performing groups to craft workers, studios and workshops; from galleries, museums and theatres to schools, sports clubs and libraries; arts centres, local authorities and community groups to government departments, state agencies, hospitals, public bodies, transport companies, universities and many more.

All participants must be registered through their relevant arts office/local authority and their event details uploaded to the national programme/website. Participation is through your local arts office which oversees the organisation of the programme of events in each city and county. Full registration details are available on www.culturenight.ie

Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir is brought to you by the Arts Council, in partnership with local authorities and cultural organisations throughout the island of Ireland and thanks to their continued support all activities are totally free.
