Limerick City and County Council is inviting locals and visitors to enjoy another lively evening in the city as Twilight Thursdays returns on Thursday 25 June, making the most of the long midsummer daylight.

Falling just after the summer solstice, the June edition offers a chance to experience Limerick late into the evening with a relaxed seasonal atmosphere. Staged on the last Thursday of each month, Twilight Thursdays forms part of Limerick's Night-Time Economy initiative, which brings together businesses, cultural organisations and community groups to create a welcoming city centre after dark.

This month's programme spans family-friendly activities, live entertainment and cultural experiences, encouraging people to stay longer, see more and discover the city in a different light.

The initiative also boosts local trade by driving footfall and offering opportunities for venues and retailers to connect with new and returning customers in an evening setting. The full programme is available at Limerick.ie/Twilight-Thursdays.

June highlights include:

- The Big Limerick Seisiún with Irish music and dancing at The Locke

- "Ten Years of The Limerick Lady" at No.1 Pery Square, celebrating Irish women

- Twilight Tales storytelling experience at the Hunt Museum - Brazilian Festa Junina celebration and Samba drumming experiences in the city centre

- Family-friendly evening at Limerick Milk Market with entertainment, crafts and food

- Siege of Limerick 1691 historical walking tour departing from the Hunt Museum

- Ivory Elephant Twilight Market featuring artisan food, vintage and crafts

- Arcade tournaments, trivia nights, interactive workshops and late-night escape room experiences

- A wide range of dining offers, drinks specials and late openings across bars, cafés and restaurants

- Late-night DJs, live music and club events across multiple city venues

Limerick is one of nine locations chosen for the national Night-Time Economy pilot programme, supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, positioning the city as a vibrant and inclusive destination after dark.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan their evening by checking the latest listings at Limerick.ie/Twilight-Thursdays, with updates continuing in the run-up to the night. Whether you are after a relaxed outing or simply want to savour the long summer evenings, Twilight Thursdays on 25 June promises a warm welcome in the heart of Limerick.
