Cruinniú na nÓg took place all over Ireland on Saturday and there was a host of events in Kerry.
Billed as the national day of creativity for children and young people, the programme of free events in Tralee drew young people to a number of venues.
Tralee Library hosted a Storytime session called Rainbows, Wolves & Bumblebees and a Creative Writing Workshop called ‘Pull A Story From Your Head’.
A Horrible History Tour took place at the County Museum as did a Punch & Judy Puppet Show, while there was a dance performance outside the front entrance to Tralee Tourist Office featuring students from Ardfert National School who have been working with dance artist in residence Maria Svensson.
