Building on the success of last year, Culture Date with Dublin 8 will host a series of specially curated events and activities again on the 19th-20th May 2018 across the locale of Kilmainham and Inchicore, taking place amongst the leading historical and cultural sites such as IMMA - Irish Museum of Modern Art, Richmond Barracks, Kilmainham Gaol, The Irish National War Memorial Gardens, The Phoenix Park, Goldenbridge Cemetery and The Grand Canal.
