With 27 free events in 18 venues taking place across the county, this year’s Culture Night Roscommon, taking place on Friday, 20th of September for Culture Night Roscommon, was officially launched at An Ríoga in Boyle recently.
Culture Night invites Roscommon people everyone, everywhere, on one joyful night, to discover and celebrate all that our culture is today. Once again this year’s programme features a rich and diverse programme of events.
Among the diverse genres of arts and culture that will be celebrated music, film, literature, heritage, food, craft, history and visual art, will all be showcased in 18 diverse venues across County Roscommon. Culture Night/Oíche Chultúir 2024 is a national event connecting everyone to cultural activities locally and nationally.
Events in Roscommon kick off from 5 pm and run until 1 am. Audiences can experience culture for as long or as short, as early or as late as they like! It’s about dipping into and experiencing a range of arts and culture in the county’s eclectic cultural venues in Ballaghaderreen, Boyle, Ballydangan, Castlerea, Cootehall, Frenchpark, Keadue, Knockcroghery, Roscommon town, Strokestown and Tulsk.
Speaking at the launch of Culture Night Roscommon, Cathaoirleach Cllr Paschal Fitzmaurice said “We encourage everyone to have a look at the Roscommon programme curated by the Arts Office – with such a diverse range of events, there is bound to be an event to suit everyone in their local area”.
Roscommon County Council’s Arts Officer Rhona McGrath added: “We are delighted to support the Roscommon artists, performers, organisers and venues and thank them for their time in preparing and creating the exciting work which will be presented on Culture Night”.
So don’t miss out, spread the word and dive into the cultural experiences that Roscommon has to offer. Culture Night Roscommon is organised by Roscommon County Council in partnership with the Arts Council and cultural organisations throughout the county.
