Celebrate culture!

From music to art to fashion to literature, Culture Night on Leeside is gearing up to a be fantastic one.

Culture Night on Friday 23 September sees venues all over the country open their doors late into the night. Cork city’s own Culture Night programme has an astonishing array of over 150 events, taking place in 85 venues.

At the beating heart of the night, Cork City Council and The Good Room present Magic Nights by the Lee at Cork City Hall, a late-night free event that will run from 9pm to midnight. It brings together some of Cork city and county’s most legendary artists with some of the freshest sounds by contemporary musicians.

This extraordinary audio-visual feast will celebrate the history and culture of Leeside music and arts.

FishGoDeep are joined by Conal Creedon for a composition that was commissioned for Magic Nights by The Lee as they showcase music from their own back catalogue of productions and tracks that they have created over the last 25 years.

John Spillane has teamed up with poet and novelist extraordinaire Doireann Ní Ghríofa for a special show exclusively for Culture Night. Brian Deady joins the show with alternate versions of some of his biggest hits whilst unleashing new creations on the night.

Stevie G, with Minnie Marley and Kestine, will bring some hip-hop and urban flavours to the proceedings showcasing two of Cork's freshest rising stars.

All Culture Night events are free, including the Culture Buses, although some require booking, and operate on a 1st come 1st served basis.
