Louth County Council, in collaboration with the Louth Local Sports Partnership (LLSP), will host a free Family Fun Day to celebrate National Play Day 2025 on Sunday, 6th July.

The event, which is run in conjunction with St Kevin’s GFC, will take place at the club’s GAA ground in Philipstown, Dunleer, from 10am to 2pm.

This year’s theme, The Power of Play, highlights the transformative role of play in supporting individual development, strengthening community bonds, and creating vibrant, inclusive spaces. Through play, we bridge divides, nurture creativity, and build understanding across all ages.

Families from across Louth are invited to join us for a morning filled with exciting, free activities for children of all ages. The event will feature a Family Sports Day, alongside plenty of games, entertainment, and goodies for all children attending.

Cllr Sean Kelly, Cathaoirleach of Louth County Council, said: “National Play Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the joy and importance of play in our lives. We’re proud to support events that bring families and communities together in such a positive and engaging way.”

This event is completely free to attend, and no registration is required – just come along and join the fun!
