This month’s Twilight Thursdays programme showcases a lively mix of hands‑on arts and craft sessions, storytelling and heritage experiences, late‑night puzzles and gaming, wellbeing classes, and an array of live performances ranging from music to comedy.
The evening also features a welcoming atmosphere at Limerick’s celebrated cafés, pubs and restaurants, where people can relax, sample special tastings, enjoy Twilight Thursdays discounts, and soak up the vibrant night‑time buzz.
Together, these experiences create a dynamic programme that encourages everyone to take part, discover something new and enjoy Limerick at night.

Each month, the creativity and energy across the city grows stronger. We encourage everyone to take part, discover something new, and help us continue building a lively, inclusive evening in the heart of the city.”
