Culture Night – National Coordinator

Culture Night, September 19 2025

Openness | Discovery | Celebration | Belonging 

Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir 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.

An annual, all-island public event which takes place each year on the second last Friday of September, Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir celebrates 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.

Special and unique events and workshops are specifically programmed at participating locations and, thanks to the continued support of the Arts Council and local Authorities across the island of Ireland, all activities are made available to the public free of charge.

Since 2021, Milestone has been the National Coordinator (for The Arts Council) for this annual initiative delivered through the 31 local authority Arts Office which takes place on the second last Friday in September each year.
