Free Spirit Festival

Bipolar Empire and Kevin Keeley from The Voice are set to perform at South Dublin Comhairle na nÓgs Free Spirit Festival at County Hall, Tallaght on May 24th.

Aimed at young people from 12- 18 Years, the festival will take place from 5:30 to 8:30pm in Chambers Square, at the main entrance to County Library. The festival has been organised to give young people the information on what is available to them if dealing with stress or when going through difficult times. A number of relaxation activities and demonstrations as well as Drum and Gaming Workshops have been organised for the Festival, to give young people an opportunity to experience a number of different ways to relax in a safe, fun environment.

The event organised by South Dublin Comhairle na nÓg in partnership with Community Services Department, Arts and Social Inclusion Offices, Libraries and Rua Red hopes to give young people in our County the opportunity to concentrate on their mind and body during stressful times. A number of organisations will be present at the event with information about their services, such as Headstrong, Aware, Pieta House etc.  

After a welcome from Mayor Caitriona Jones, Dr. Tony Bates, Headstrong will give a short introduction about the importance of the festival and looking after our Wellbeing, followed later by a longer workshop where young people will be encouraged to attend.

 

We would like to thank Johnston Logistics for all their support for the Festival.
