A CITYWIDE CELEBRATION: CULTURE NIGHT BELFAST 2025
Culture Night Belfast 2025 was truly a city-wide celebration – stretching from north to south, east to west, across the quarters and into the city.
We collaborated with dozens of venues, including heritage buildings, hospitality providers, and council venues. From Carlisle Memorial Church to the Crescent Arts Centre, and from Templemore Baths to Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Approximately 60,000 people attended the event, with residents and visitors invited to over 100 free pop-up activities and drop-in events. The 2025 programme focused on family-friendly, artist-led activities and offered a fantastic opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of Belfast’s culture.
Highlights included Titanic wrestling at Grand Central Station, an Oíche Chultúir rooftop concert at An Chultúrlann, the Firepoise fire and light show in CS Lewis Square, and Opera on the Balcony on Hill Street - CNB 2025 had it all!
LEGACY OF CNB 2025
By focusing on families and venue-based events, Culture Night Belfast 2025 planted the seeds for future events and provided a vital platform to showcase the talents and value of our arts sector.
This year’s event was funded by Belfast City Council, with additional support from Linen Quarter and Cathedral Quarter BIDs.
