Enjoy a week-long celebration of Ireland’s unique maritime heritage, set in the second-largest natural harbour in the world. Cork Harbour Festival 2017 takes place between Saturday 3 June and Sunday 11 June. Whether a visitor to the region or a native Corkonian, you’re invited to experience the spectacular fleet of boats taking part in Ocean to City. Taste from the seafood market, go crab fishing in Cobh, explore the many heritage sites, brave a guided ghostly trail, sail in the harbour or go for a kayak and discover Cork City. Now in its third year, the festival celebrates Cork Harbour as a natural and cultural resource, with the communities and their stories at the heart of it. There are plenty of free family events happening throughout the festival.
