There is a FREE festival happening in Dublin on Easter weekend

Dublin city is getting an amazing, and most importantly, free festival over the Easter weekend. 

Cruinniú na Cásca will be held across Dublin city centre from 11am to 6pm on April 17, and it looks pretty cool. 

The festival is celebrating creativity and culture in contemporary Ireland.

The activities for the festival include live music and dance, coding, theatre, art and music workshops, talks. food and drink tastings, readings and screenings.

"It’s an initiative that is close to my heart," said An Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

"The theme for Cruinniú Na Cásca 2017 is diversity and inclusion. As a people, as communities, we can only benefit from taking a day every year to think seriously about ourselves, to have important conversations – but also to share our experiences and to come together to enjoy our cultural heritage and the work of our artists and performers.

"I firmly believe that Cruinniú has the potential to enrich our social and cultural lives long into the future.”

The event is organised by RTE in association with Creative Ireland, and it's definitely an interesting way to celebrate Easter this year!
