Some 1,800 events are being organised across Ireland for this year's Culture Night which takes place tonight.
It began in Dublin in 2006 with 40 events and has since expanded to all major towns and cities right across Ireland.
Directed by the Arts Council of Ireland, the programme is created in partnership with local authorities and cultural organisations throughout the island.
