In 1999–2003 Franc Bernik Culture House took over the production of the Groblje International Festival of Chamber Music, one of the oldest festivals of its kind in Europe.

Poleg tega se v Galeriji Domžale enkrat mesečno odvija tudi cikel koncertov Jazz v galeriji, v katerem predstavljamo mlade in tudi bolj uveljavljene jazzovske glasbenike iz vseh koncev sveta. Letos cikel stopa v svojo peto sezono, v času od prvega koncerta pa se je uveljavil ko eden od slovenskih centrov jazzovskega dogajanja.

Na začetku leta 2011 je pod naš okvir prišla tudi Muzejska hiša Menačenkova domačija, ki je pomemben prostor domžalske kulturne dediščine zaradi ohranjanja in prikazovanja domžalske preteklosti, ki sloni na obrtniški tradiciji. Hiša je bila zgrajena na prehodu iz 19. v 20. stoletje kot bivališče in delavnica krojaške družine Ahčin z domačim imenom »Pr' Menačnk«. Od leta 2003 dalje je domačija obnovljena in preurejena v etnološki muzej.
