September 2020

The 2020 Culture Night will take place on Friday 18th September across Ireland and Mayo alike.

The Culture Night is an occasion to showcase the wealth and variety of cultural activity that exists in Mayo celebrating the county’s excellent cultural reputation on a national platform.

The initiative had been welcomed by both the public imagination and the enthusiasm of artists and cultural organisations.

This year, due to Covid-19 Culture Night will be reimagined. Many of this year’s events will take place online or digitally, but some safe offline events will be put in place.
