Join us on The Parade this Culture Night as the space comes alive with an evening of celebration, music, dance, and performances showcasing a rich mix of cultures. With something for all ages, it’s a vibrant community event not to be missed.

Kick things off with an early event for our youngest audiences. Drop in and enjoy some ceol, craic agus damhsa with Ríona Sally Hartman, at a fun, interactive event ideal for all the family from ages 3+.

As the evening continues, soak up some of Kilkenny’s finest talents as musicians, dancers and performers take centre-stage to animate this open-air space. Enjoy the sounds of Kilkenny’s finest up-and-coming bands, the music of local choir The Unity Singers, and a special new extravaganza Corte Real, a colourful celebration of cultural diversity told through the combined dance and drumming talents of Maracatu Ireland and The Global Dance Club Kilkenny.
