A film event was held in the Square for Culture night in 2022.

THE eighteenth edition of Culture Night will take place on Friday, September 22 when Ireland will become a cultural playground.

Special events will be programmed at participating locations and, thanks to the continued support of the Arts Council as well as local authorities such as Kerry County Council, all activities are made available to the public free of charge.

Last year, Kerry held a programme of late night events that included musical performances, fire shows, and outdoor film screenings.
