We’re so excited that planning for Culture Night 2025 at DCU is nearly complete — and it’s shaping up to be our biggest one yet!

This year, we’re welcoming back familiar faces and introducing some exciting new events, all taking place in our expanded DCU Village of 10 tents on the green space in front of St Patrick’s campus.

To help make the evening a success, we’re now putting together a brilliant team of student volunteers to support the event on Friday, 19th September, from 3:00pm to 9:30pm.
