The Culture Night Dublin 2023 programme is now live

The programme for Culture Night Dublin 2023 has just been unveiled.

The annual nocturnal celebration of culture and creativity will be held on Friday, 22 September, and boasts an impressive lineup of over 250 participating venues and more than 300 captivating events.

Marking 18 years of Culture Night in the capital, this year’s event shines a light on inclusivity and late night culture, with a programme highlighting accessibility and reimagining possibilities for the city after dark.

In celebration of the city’s public spaces, a number of iconic outdoor venues will also be brought to life with roller discos, vogue balls and live music, supported by Dublin City Council. All events are free to attend.

The programme was officially announced today at a ceremony at St. Michan’s Park, where the former Handball Alley will be repurposed into an outdoor performance space during this year’s event.

Speaking at the programme launch, Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste encouraged the public to be part of something truly special:

“Culture Night Dublin, now in its 18th year, will bring together over 100,000 people from across the capital.

“They are the driving force behind the magic that makes our city such a fantastic place to live, work, and visit.

2Culture Night is a chance to celebrate their brilliance and honour their contribution to our community.

“So, mark your calendars for September 22nd and get ready to be a part of something truly special”.
