“I am thrilled to see such a diverse range of events spanning across our communities, from Omagh to Enniskillen, Carrickmore to Kinawley and Drumquin to Garrison. Culture Night not only highlights our rich heritage but also embraces the multicultural fabric of our society today. I encourage everyone to enjoy these free, family-friendly events and experience the wealth of talent and creativity our district has to offer”.

Culture Night 2024 will feature an exciting lineup of events, including a captivating performance by Síle in Omagh Town Centre, Bulgarian folk dances that will bring international flair to the streets of Omagh, and traditional Irish music concerts in Tempo and Garrison.
