A magical milestone at Kildare's Whitewater Shopping Centre: Join Us for a Week-Long 20th Birthday Celebration!

This April, we are proud to celebrate a very special milestone, our 20th birthday, and we’re inviting the entire community to be part of a truly magical week of festivities!

 Kicking things off in style, our main celebration takes place on Monday, April 6th (Easter Monday), with a spectacular day planned for all ages. The celebrations begin at 11:45am with a colourful Magical Parade through the town to Whitewater, bringing music, energy, and excitement right to the heart of the community.

From there, the party continues with live music from The New Brass Kings, a vibrant disco atmosphere, and a host of free family activities including face painting, balloons, and plenty of surprises throughout the day. It promises to be a joyful celebration filled with laughter, music, and community spirit.

But one day simply isn’t enough,  we’ve planned a full week of entertainment so everyone can join in the fun!
