Culture Night is the opportunity to engage with the rich arts and culture resources of our country and in County Kildare we have extended the programme to include events on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th, so everyone can get a chance to get involved! This year, some special projects will shine an extra light on creativity in the county. These special event projects will be displayed in the main streets of some county’s towns the week before Culture Night, getting the whole community to celebrate arts and culture.
