The community-focused arts showcase lands in Dundalk
POW Dundalk is delighted to announce the return of Scratch Night, taking place on 20th February 2026 in Dundalk.
Scratch Night is an evening of short works-in-progress, giving artists the opportunity to test new material in front of a live audience in a supportive and welcoming setting. The event brings together a mix of circus and performance, featuring disciplines including aerial, hand balancing, acrobatics, juggling, comedy, music, dance and theatre.
