SDCC was delighted to celebrate the Ninth Anniversary of Brú Chrónáin Round Tower Visitor Centre, last Saturday 11 July, with hundreds of families and visitors enjoying a fantastic day of free entertainment in the heart of historic Clondalkin.

The celebration brought the grounds of the Round Tower to life with an exciting programme of live performances and family activities. Visitors were treated to spectacular fire performers, stilt walkers, jugglers, Viking characters, face painting, live music, family games, guided tours of the visitor centre led by local Clann Chrónáin Tour Guides, the Garda patrol van, and the SDCC Mobile Library. The event created a vibrant festival atmosphere while showcasing the rich heritage of one of South Dublin's most iconic landmarks.

The Mayor of SDCC, Councillor Francis Timmons attended the celebrations meeting families, community groups, volunteers and performers throughout the day. Speaking at the event, the Mayor welcomed the opportunity to celebrate nine successful years of Brú Chrónáin acknowledging its importance as a cultural, heritage and tourism destination that continues to bring people together. The Mayor also went on to say that ‘It really is great and heartwarming to see such a large number of local families and so many familiar faces enjoying the family day entertainment, the beautiful summer weather and in the absolutely fantastic setting of the Round Tower Visitor Centre in the heart of our glorious Clondalkin Village’.

The success of the day was made possible through the support of local community groups, volunteers, performers, and staff, whose dedication ensured a memorable experience for everyone who attended.

SDCC extends its sincere thanks to everyone who took part in making the celebration such a success and looks forward to welcoming visitors back to Brú Chrónáin Round Tower Visitor Centre for future events and activities.
