Cruinniú na nÓg (Gathering of Youth) is an annual national day of free creative activities for children and young people under the age of 18 in Ireland.[3]

History

The Cruinniú na nÓg event has been held annually since 2018.[3] [4] [5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 events were run as a series of primarily online and virtual activities.[6] [7] [8] The 2022 program returned to in-person live events for the first time since 2019, with over 450 free creative events for young people in Ireland.[9] [10] In 2023, over 750 activities were offered.[1]

"The Spark", a song originally made for Cruinniú na nÓg, became a viral hit in 2024.[11] [12]
