BACKCHAT: Culture Night for Western Alzheimer’s

Mid-Autumn Festival Culture Night in Salthill in aid of Western Alzheimer's.

Explore Chinese culture at the Mid-Autumn Festival Culture Night in the Salthill Hotel, Co Galway, on 26 September. This event is part of a cultural exchange where drummers, acrobats and dancers from Shanghai-Pudong in China will showcase their talents. The event is organised by the Irish Chinese Society Galway and all proceeds will be donated to Western Alzheimer’s. As September is World Alzheimer’s Month, donating to this incredible charity while attending such an exciting event seems like the perfect pairing. Ticket prices start from €5.
