Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 is a day of free creativity for young people, and this year it will take place on June 7th. This all-island creative celebration will offer more than 1,000 free events and activities for children and young people in every city, town, and village across the island of Ireland.
Ireland is the first and only country in the world to dedicate an annual national day to celebrate the creative potential its young people. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan, aimed at enabling and encouraging self-expression and artistic exploration.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of our young Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 Ambassadors! These creative young people will act as advocates for events nationally and locally, promoting the importance of creative youth participation and inspiring other young people to get involved.
This year, we are delighted to partner with ISACs (Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle Network), Youth Theatre Ireland, Wonder Walls, and RTÉ’s This is Art. These organisations play a vital role in shaping the national Cruinniú na nÓg programme by developing and delivering nationwide initiatives that connect local events with a broader national vision.
Organised in collaboration with Ireland’s 31 Local Authorities and supported by RTÉ, this year’s programme invites young people to get involved in Youth Theatre workshops, mural painting, animation, DJing, 3D modelling, music and a wide range of other free creative experiences on June 7th.
You’re invited. We hope to see you there. To find an event near you visit www.cruinniu.gov.ie
