Here’s How Your Business Can Help Bring Dublin’s Night To Life

Dublin By Dusk is a new nighttime initiative from Dublin City Council, the Department of Culture, Fáilte Ireland and DublinTown that has seen businesses and cultural institutions supported to stay open later into the evening. On the last Thursday of every month, the city extends its opening hours, with galleries, museums, theatres, retail, hospitality and more staying open that little bit longer.

The grand stretch in the evening mustn’t be squandered, folks. Before you know it, summer will be over. Dublin By Dusk is making the most of the summer nights by extending the opening hours of your favourite spots in the city. However, there’s more to be done. To be a thriving nighttime city, to give quality visitor experiences, it takes a community.

Now, applications are opening up to you. If you have an initiative, business, museum, gallery, or any establishment that you think could benefit from this expansion, here’s how you can make it happen. Spaces such as IMMA, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, The Douglas Hyde Gallery, LUSH and more will be keeping their doors open for longer, creating a more vibrant Dublin after dark. So why not yours?

Whether it’s a coffee shop or a community centre, DCC, the Department of Culture, Fáilte Ireland and DublinTown is open to hearing from you. If you have a concept surrounding how your business or cultural institution would benefit from Dublin By Dusk, you can fill out the application here or you can email nights@Dublin.ie.

If you want your institution to be promoted by Dublin by dusk. the deadline for submissions is 14 August, with chosen businesses being included in the Dublin By Dusk August programme on 27 August. Applications are still open after 14 August, however promotion isn’t guaranteed.
