Well I’d say the people of Buenos Aries are in for a big surprise when they take delivery of a crate of Irish nightlife next month. As part of the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project they will receive the best of our nightlife culture as part of a one-of-a-kind global experience in which 14 countries pair up to exchange crates containing the best of their local nightlife.
The whole plan came together via the Smirnoff Facebook page and, after over 500 suggestions were submitted, it was up to the Irish curator, Siobhan O’Dowd, to decide what best represented Ireland’s nightlife.
Argentina can look forward to experiencing entertainment by Irish DJ Dave DeValera along with Irish themed food served in the setting of a traditional Irish pub. They’ll also be getting a customised crate courtesy of Irish graphic artist Shane O’Driscoll. And to top it off they’ll be served an Irish take on the Smirnoff Mule, using the special ingredient of red lemonade!
It’s an audacious (and innovative) endeavour to have different cultures experience what each other consider a great night out. On 27th November the Wright Venue in Dublin will play host to Argentina as we experience what they consider to be a top night out.
