Galway is seeking to become the Irish capital and we look forward to bringing our unique vision, potential achievement to this great stage. This year’s Culture Night features many of Galway’s most able culture warriors, from the legendary Druid Theatre, celebrating 40 years of excellence to An Áit Eile, exciting newcomers of whom great things are expected. Familiar Galway institutions like An Taibhdhearc, Galway Arts Centre and the Town Hall Theatre present work alongside new favourites the Giddy Biddies, 091 Labs and the National Computer Museum at INSIGHT and communities throughout the city are well represented too.
