New Twilight Thursdays initiative to ‘boost’ to city centre

A NEW initiative aimed at enhancing the night-time economy in the city centre has been launched by Limerick City and County Council.

Limerick city is one of nine locations selected to participate in the national Night Time Economy pilot programme, which is supported and funded by the  Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts, designed to stimulate night-time economy activity.

Starting this May, Twilight Thursdays will take place on the last Thursday of every month, bringing together cultural events, live entertainment, and late-night business openings to create a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere for all.

Limerick Council is inviting businesses to run events on these nights that will be promoted as part of the Twilight Thursday programme. They're also encouraging businesses to consider remaining open later on these nights.

This initiative is just one part of our comprehensive action plan to improve Limerick city's night-time offerings.”

Limerick Council’s Night Time Economy Advisor, Craig Power added: “Twilight Thursdays will not only boost our local economy but also enhance the social and cultural fabric of Limerick.”
