The Garda from Rathmore who is bases in Tralee will represent his home county as an ambassador promoting the arts on Friday, September 22 as Culture Night takes place right across Ireland between the hours of 5.00 and 11.00pm.
Aidan has become a passionate supporter of the art form stating “dance is a tonic for the brain and the body, hugely enjoyable and a powerful way of expressing your creativity”.
He says he is calling out to all ages and especially to young people “to get involved, to check out the programme and take part in an arts event, there’s huge choice”.

Trying something different, visiting a gallery, theatre, museum or arts centre, is the message and “our arts and cultural venues offer up a wonderful mix of free events that are fun-filled and very family friendly”, says Kate Kennelly, Arts Officer at Kerry County Council, whose responsibility it is to develop the Culture Night offering for Kerry.
The variety on offer ensures there is something for everyone with free events, tours, talks and performances that suit all tastes and ages.
Culture Night is an easy-going, relaxed way of enjoying arts and culture locally. In Tralee and Killarney, visitors can go from venue to venue, sampling art, music, film, literature and dance…while from Listowel to Kenmare there are multiple events to choose from across all the art forms.
Remember Culture Night on Friday September 22nd. All events are free for the people to enjoy. For more details go to www.culturenight.ie/kerry or phone 066 7183541.
