“Culture Night continues to be one of the most successful and magical evenings in the calendar where venues open their doors free of charge and the streets are filled with spectacular performances of culture and creativity.
“Culture Night offers us all an opportunity to experience part of our unique, vibrant and increasingly diverse cultural offering.
“The event has been a huge success in Cork in recent years with local groups putting huge effort into showcasing local talent, creativity, and our rich cultural heritage.
“The evening is linked to the Creative Ireland Programme which aims to increase access to and participation in cultural activity in every county.”
