Culture Night 2022 Food Event Highlights

Join Culture Night 2022 for one night for all on Friday September 23rd

Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir 2022, the one night for all, each autumn, to come out and celebrate the diversity of culture in Ireland together, will take place on Friday, 23rd September. Gather your family, grab your friends or head out on your own, and enjoy Culture Night’s rich and diverse programme of one thousand plus FREE events. With events happening late into the night from art to architecture, culture to comedy, music to museums, handcrafting to heritage, sport to science, film to fashion, dance, literature and much more, Culture Night is a truly special occasion and the perfect opportunity to visit a venue, try something new or make your return to the cultural scene in a safe, easy and enjoyable way.

Culture Night is a national moment and connects people across the country to cultural activities locally and nationally. Culture Night is brought to you by the Arts Council in partnership with local authorities and cultural organisations throughout the island of Ireland and puts a spotlight on the quality and breadth of Ireland’s existing cultural offerings and institutions, as well as introducing new venues and emerging talent. 

New for 2022, Culture Night Late sees a series of events running later into the night than previous years, and many into the early hours. Highlights include, Night Shift, an outdoor journey through the dreamy landscapes of IMMA, Dublin which will bring participants through the grounds where sited histories and collection works will be framed by eerie interventions on the way. From Fibin sa Taibhdhearc, in Galway Aisling na Sráide Láir / A Middle Street’s Night Dream will offer audiences the chance to enjoy theatrical installations and street performances on Middle St and then parading to the Spanish Arch. SIONNA Festival in Limerick promises a night of electronic, hip hop and trad music with digital and street artists at King John’s Castle. If you’re heading to Paradise Cabaret in Kerry, expect a comically absurd, skilfully slick and ridiculously entertaining cabaret of comedy, circus, dance and music with the funnest weirdos and queerdos around; while Cork’s City Hall will be a Culture Night hub featuring local artists and collectives, live music and participatory dance performances; or enjoy a nocturnal paranormal site tour with Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, while Dublin’s Leopold Bloom Press will host a magical late night of literature and Joycean history entitled Seeing Ulysses.

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD said: “Culture Night is always a special night in the calendar and this year will be even more exciting as we celebrate Culture Night Late – it is really encouraging to see Culture Night pushing the boundaries this year and supporting and promoting the Night-Time Economy with a programme of late night flagship events and facilitating later openings of arts and cultural venues across the country.  The additional funding for this initiative provided by my Department will help promote this late night culture and provide opportunities for artists and venues to try something new.  Thank you also to the National Cultural Institutions who are also staying open later for Culture Night with really interesting programmes – it’s great to see these amazing facilities open later and attracting new audiences”.
