Cruinniú na nÓg, the national day of free creativity is taking place again for the seventh year on Saturday June 7th, 2025. It may seem like ages away yet, but Donegal County Council want the children and young people of Donegal to help us shape the events that will take place in Donegal. Have you ever wanted to try something creative? Are you excited about something and want to explore it in a creative way? Parents, is there something creative you would like your baby or toddler to try? We want to hear ideas from anyone aged 0-18 years across Donegal.
  
Cruinniú na nÓg simply means 'the gathering of young people' and is a highly engaging initiative of the Creative Ireland programme in partnership with Local Authorities. Ireland is the only country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people. The initiative is led out locally by Donegal County Council’s Culture and Creativity Team which includes members of Donegal Youth Council.  

If you are, or you know, a young person under the age of 18, please ask them to submit their suggestions. It’s completely anonymous and will help shape a meaningful creative day for young people throughout the county.

Simply submit ideas at www.wainfest.ie
