The Arts Council is delighted to announce that Culture Night will return on Friday, 18th September for its 21st edition, and organisers have officially launched an Open Call for event proposals.
Culture Night engages one million people each year across live and digital events and television coverage. It is truly ‘one night for all’, with over 1,800 free events in 2025 nationwide. Everyone is invited to celebrate, discover, explore and enjoy the vibrancy of cultural life of Ireland available to us year-round.
Culture Night is brought to you by the Arts Council, in partnership with local authorities and cultural organisations across Ireland. The Open Call is run by local arts offices and Culture Night coordinators in local authorities throughout Ireland.
Individuals, community groups, and organisations are all invited to propose activities for this year’s programme.
