It’s that time of year again; that one night where Belfast descends into cultural chaos, where thousands take to the streets to share and enjoy all that is good in the world of music, art, theatre, and general silliness in Belfast.
After a shaky start, Culture Night Belfast 2015 is most definitely on its way with over 200 events, 100 venues, 50,000 people and an even earlier start that usual. Running from 1 – 10pm on Friday 18th September, this looks to be the biggest Culture Night to date.
Now we here at PastieBap.com love us some Culture Night, and to prove it you can read about previous years hijinks here, here and here. The only problem with Belfast’s biggest and boldest cultural celebration, is that there’s just not enough hours in the day to make it to everything you want to see, so to help you out, we’ve compiled a list of our top 25 Culture Night picks which you can view and save here.
If 25 events seems like too many, we’ve picked our top 10 must-see events at Culture Night Belfast 2015.
1. Slack Park
Writers Square
1:00 – 22:00
Slacklining is a new balance sport that uses 1 or 2 inch wide flat webbing that is tensioned between two anchor points (typically two trees) to balance. Slacklining is similar to slack/tight rope walking as the line is held under tension. Slacklining differs from either tightwires or tightropes in that it is only tensioned to a point that creates a more dynamic line which has a degree of stretch and bounce making like a long and narrow trampoline.

18:45 – 19:30
Purveyors of piano-driven atmospheric pop…
