Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir is brought to you by the Arts Council; it is a national moment celebrating culture, creativity, and the arts, and seeks to actively promote the belief that this rich and varied culture is alive, treasured and nurtured in people’s lives, today and every day.  It is delivered nationwide in cities, towns, villages and rural locations as well as online and through our media partners. 

On September 18th 2026, doors will open later with special events specifically programmed for Culture Night!

Thanks to the continued support of the Arts Council and Local Authorities across the island of Ireland, all activities will be available to the public free of charge.
