The annual Cruinniú na nÓg festival is a day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people.
The Kildare County Council Culture and Creativity Team includes representatives from a variety of departments such as arts, library, local history, heritage, climate, and community. Together with our strategic partners, we work collaboratively to deliver a programme of interdisciplinary events including the annual Cruinniú na nÓg festival of free creativity for children and young people, alongside numerous community-based projects in the county for all ages. The programme of work is guided by Kildare’s Culture and Creativity Strategy 2023-2027 .
