Community engagement is at the heart of Cork’s proactive and dynamic celebrations of the city’s heritage and culture. The designation of several new ‘Cultural City Quarters’ has brought together the hospitality, retail and tourism sectors in these quarters and injected a renewed enthusiasm for collaborative initiatives that showcase the individual identity and unique attributes of each neighbourhood. Cork is also an active participant in the national ‘Culture Night’ celebrations, running since2006, during which arts and cultural organisations and venues across Ireland extend their opening hours in order to encourage and inspire public engagement, by running workshops, exhibitions and events free of charge. The festival has grown year-on-year, and despite the challenges of Covid restrictions in 2021, approximately 100 events took place in Cork for Culture Night, which is testament to the creativity and dedication of the Arts sector in the City.
