Dublin Book Festival After Dark
The Dublin Book Festival After Dark, supported by the Night-Time Economy Advisor, aims to engage literary lovers in a unique night-time setting. With late-night readings, discussions, and performances, this initiative transforms the festival into a vibrant hub for creativity and conversation, proving that the literary scene can thrive well into the evening.

Nocturnal Beats
Nocturnal Beats is an exciting late-night venue trail that extends the vibrant spirit of Culture Night into the early hours. By partnering with late-night venues, we’ve created a unique experience showcasing the best of Dublin’s nightlife. This event not only packed the venues but also received rave reviews from residents and media alike, proving that Dublin really does come alive after dark.

Culture Night Late Welfare Area
During Culture Night, we piloted a late-night welfare area equipped with medical support and welfare officers to ensure the safety and well-being of attendees. This initiative was well-received, providing a much-needed resource for those enjoying the festivities. We’re now working to establish this welfare area as a permanent feature in Dublin’s night-time landscape.

What Else Is Happening?
There’s plenty happening behind the scenes! We’re collaborating with various venues and promoters, as well as engaging with Dublin’s top cultural institutions. We’re also in discussions with the NTA, Irish Rail, and other transport agencies to develop late-night transport solutions. Working closely with the DCC City Coordination Team, we’re developing safe spaces and initiatives, with even more projects in the pipeline. Stay tuned!
