Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Patricia Logue, said she was thrilled to help launch the event.
She said: “As a City and District, we are proud to showcase our culture and heritage from our talented musicians to our impressive actors and performers, and everything in between. I cannot wait for Culture Night 2023 with the biggest programme of exciting events to date.
“Some of our beautiful buildings will open their door and invite everyone in for an exciting celebration with plenty of craic. I would encourage everyone to check out the huge programme and see what’s on offer, it will be a night to remember for sure.”
John Kerr, Arts & Culture Manager at Derry City and Strabane District Council, said he was delighted to deliver such a diverse medley of events this year.
He said: “We love to showcase our diverse and eclectic mix of culture and heritage every year and we’re really excited to see our Culture Night continue to grow every year.
“Culture Night gives us the opportunity to explore our cultural offerings here in the North West and provide first class entertainment for audiences, young and old, to experience something new and visit a venue they perhaps have never visited before. The programme has been tailor made, with help from many arts and cultural organisations across Derry and Strabane, to provide family-friendly programming and activities for all ages as well as late evening events.
“Venues will open their door with a range of drop-in and short sessions, allowing people to move around and enjoy a number of events over the course of the evening for free.”
The 18th edition of Culture Night will take place on Friday 22nd September 2023, with events happening all over Ireland.
