Culture Night
The twenty first edition of Culture Night will take place on Friday 18 September 2026.
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 and unique 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.

Together, they bring creativity, heritage, and innovation to the spotlight, helping to share Culture Night’s unique vibe with audiences across Ireland.
