Thanks to everyone who came out for Culture Night Belfast 2011; we couldn’t have done it without you!
Is it over already? A colossal, all-encompassing Culture Night hug to everybody (and we mean everybody) involved with this year’s show-stopping, gob-smacking, game-changing Culture Night Belfast. It came, you saw, we conquered!
To the staff on the ground, the supporters financial, moral and physical, the performers on the streets, the venues in between, the artists in the air, the businesses everywhere, the cathedral quarter flock and the non-controversial paraders – it was a dizzying night of “everything, all at once” thanks to your efforts. To the babies, the oldies, the inbetweenies, the culture groupies, the casually intrigued, the out-of-towners, the once-weeklies, the every-nighters, the all-nighters and the home-by-niners, the thrill-seekers and the fun-lovers, the street-wise and the rock steady, in fact every single one of you who came down to participate, laugh, cry or point – thank you, thank you, thank you. You all helped to make the magic happen. We were happy to help. See you all next year. Even bigger and better you say? Well, we can but try…
Please note there are some changes to the printed programme
As with any big beautiful organic thing, Culture Night Belfast is growing and reshaping itself all the time.

CNB Launches New iPhone app!
Culture Night Belfast has become even more interactive, accessible and downright exciting with the launch of our spanking brand new Culture Night Belfast App for the iPhone.
The CNB 11 App enhances your Culture Night experience in a number of cool ways.
With its Augmented Reality (AR) programme guide, you can move your iPhone around 360 degrees to see where and when your favourite acts and activities are taking place.
Selecting an event then gives you a summary of the performance with all the info you need to plan out your perfect Culture Night evening, including act times and even how far away you are from the performance.
The nifty AR Camera can also help guide you to your desired events. There’s also a comprehensive Google map showing all 170-plus events to help keep you on track throughout the evening’s fun.
