Culture Night Dublin 2021

The programme for Culture Night Dublin 2021 was launched at Dublin’s Liberty Lane in the attendance of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alison Gilliland and the Culture Night Dublin Ambassador, broadcaster and writer, Ola Majekodunmi. The details of three artist commissions funded by Dublin City Council were also announced.

Speaking at the launch, the Lord Mayor commented:

“After what has been a deeply challenging period, particularly for the creative sector, I’m deeply honoured to launch the programme for Culture Night Dublin. Originating in Dublin’s Temple Bar in 2006, Culture Night has grown to become a major celebration of the city's culture, creativity and heritage. The last 18 months has shown that culture is more important in our lives than ever. Dublin is a city with culture at its core, and culture allows us collectively to explore and make sense of events, such as the pandemic. The 2021 Programme presents an opportunity to start this process of understanding, for us to reconnect with each other and to reacquaint ourselves with our capital city’s magnificent cultural resources. There are over 200 participating venues and in excess of 250 events to explore, all of which are free. I would encourage Dublin’s citizens and visitors to come and be inspired this Culture Night.”
