Ahoy there, join us for a day of family-friendly events by the sea! We’ll have puppet shows, music, games, arts & craft workshops and more.

Street Art Theatre Ireland bring their circus skills workshop, with props and tutors on hand to help. Allegro Vivace by Varna State Puppet Theatre is an entertaining show for children of all ages in which there are no rules and in which classical music is mixed with other styles of music to make the point that it is all music.

Create and design a small boat by our tranquillity pond with Wicklow Willow, and come see our latest dlr Scéal Trail story walk - Little Wolf by Peter Donnelly. Mime artists and Stilt Walkers will also be there to boost the festival atmosphere, and music sessions from 2 Guitars Music! You can also enjoy games on Moran Park and a Treasure Hunt!
