Applications open for Mayo Culture Night event fund 2025

MAYO County Council Arts Service is inviting applications for their Mayo Culture Night event fund 2025.

The fund supports the cost of events programmed for Culture Night, which takes place on September 19.

An annual, all-island public event which takes place each year on the second last Friday of September, Culture Night celebrates culture, creativity and the arts and seeks to actively promote the belief that this rich and varied culture is alive, treasured and nurtured in people’s lives, today and every day.

In 2024 the Culture Night event fund supported over 20 events across the county, contributing to a vibrant, successful Culture Night which saw 36 events in Mayo draw thousands of attendees to celebrate 'One Night for All'.

If you are a not-for-profit organisation, local community group, arts, heritage and cultural group, venue, or society, and are considering running an event for Culture Night in your area, visit mayo.ie/arts/programme/culture-night to find the application guidelines and form for the Mayo Culture Night event fund 2025.

Deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on Monday, April 7.

For further information, contact mayoculturenight@mayococo.ie. To stay up to date with all things Culture Night on social media: Facebook - @MayoCultureNight; Instagram - Mayo Culture Night.

Culture Night is strategically funded by Mayo County Council and the Arts Council and is supported by Creative Ireland and participating groups and venues in Mayo.
