Culture Night has become an all-island national phenomenon taking places in 34 regions and 900 venues across the island of Ireland. It attracts almost half a million people into cities and towns for a late night innovative cultural and creative experience.
Culture Night was the brainchild of Gráinne Millar which she kick-started in 2006 as a customer-focussed idea based on finding a solution to the problem of getting more people to visit cultural attractions in the city.
Through network development, cluster development and creativity techniques this event has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the country and grown from its humble beginnings in Dublin with 40 national cultural institutions and €20k seed funding from the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht to a late-night cultural experience and all-island phenomonen.
