Cruinniú na nÓg 2026

Cruinniú na nÓg, Ireland’s national day of FREE creativity for children and young people, takes place on Sat June 6th this year: https://cruinniu.gov.ie/

As part of this, we are very excited to bring back ‘Rock the Block’ for it’s 4th year, this time in the gorgeous new location of Cork City Library’s Carnegie Courtyard! Rock the Block will feature a wide range of performances and music-making workshops from 1 – 6pm.

We will also be bringing music to the streets of the city with Rap-A-Mile from 11.30am – 12.30pm, a rap & beats parade featuring the talents and energy of the performers from The Kabin Studio!

Full programme and poster to follow soon!

Presented by Music Generation Cork City, The Kabin Studio and Musical Neighbourhoods. Supported by Cork City Council and Creative Ireland.
