Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national 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.  

It takes place across 1 Saturday in June leading to hundreds of events nationwide, catering for all children and young people aged 0-18 years.  

The inaugural Cruinniú na nÓg took place on 23rd June 2018 and for the past number of years, including under exceptional circumstances in 2020, young people and families have come together to enjoy, a wide range of creative activities including workshops, tutorials and creative packs delivered to homes across the county.  

Over the past number of years, Culture Division in Donegal have worked extensively with children and young people by including Donegal Youth Council in the planning meetings and asking young people what they would like to see, do, or try each Cruinniú na nÓg. The result is a programme which includes their suggestions alongside exciting events they may never have imagined.
