Cork's Food Culture Comes to Life
Cork is a very festive place, with major cultural, foodie and fun events running throughout the year. And even when these festivals are focused on the arts, with sports or entertainment (such as the city’s famous October Jazz Festival) – there will always be a strong food and drink element in the mix. That’s just how we throw a party.
This is just a taste of what has become a rich, almost dizzying year-round calendar of festivals and events big and small – please do click through on the links for more details of events that include:
