Discover the rich cultural heritage that Kildare has to offer with art exhibitions, family friendly festivals and live music. Kildare’s beloved Saint, Brigid, has an entire festival dedicated to her whilst every town and village will have a special celebration for St Patrick’s Day, a national holiday.
