Taking place on Saturday, June 7 from 12-9pm at Fr. Burke Park, this celebration will host over 40 free events, workshops, and performances, celebrating creativity through music, art, circus, storytelling, and more.
This year Cruinniú na nÓg promises an exciting and inclusive programme – from circus workshops, spoken word performances to sensory art. Highlights include:
The Galway City Night-Time Economy Initiative Youth Lates will transform Fr. Burke Park into a vibrant open-air concert. This promises to be the biggest Youth Lates yet, showcasing the incredible talent of young artists in Galway City. The event will feature a dynamic Live Music Stage headlined by the sensational Telebox, alongside an exciting lineup of bands including TaLLLon, Copacetic, Infernal Terror, Silk Road, and Patient Zero. Adding another layer of youthful creativity, the Spoken Word Tent will provide a platform for the powerful voices of young poets and storytellers, sharing their unique perspectives and talents. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to experience the vibrant energy and creativity of Galway’s young people as they take centre stage in Fr. Burke Park for Youth Lates! There will be sign-ups on the door for an Open Mic session. Youth Lates is suitable for ages (14-18).
