Culture Night takes place on Friday September 23rd this year. It is a national moment, celebrating all that makes up the richness and diversity of culture in Ireland today, connecting people  to cultural activities locally and nationally and aims to open up pathways to ongoing engagement.

Culture Night is brought to you by the Arts Council in partnership with Meath Arts Office.
