What is Culture Night?
Now in its thirteenth year, Dublin’s culture night is a range of free events for one night only. The bill is packed with a whole host of different activities and things to see and do. It gives attendees a chance to indulge in some great late-night entertainment as part of an Ireland-wide programme. Covering everything from the arts to culture and heritage, public spaces across Dublin will be opening their doors with over 270 participating venues and over 600 events suited to both local residents and visitors alike. All venues are open from 5pm – 11pm unless otherwise stated. If you’re looking for something fun and unusual to do that won’t break the bank, Culture Night is a truly unique way to spend an evening in Dublin.
