annual festival, in late July, is a dance lover’s dream. Not only
will you get to watch traditional Irish dancing at its best, you’ll

truly multicultural atmosphere.
Cork
Pride Festival, 28th

This
vibrant, colourful festival is an inclusive celebration where
everyone is welcome, not just the lesbian and gay community, from
Cork and beyond. The highlight is the Pride Parade where the floats
and costumes get bigger, better and more colourful with every year
that passes. As spectacles go, it’s a hard one to beat.
Cork
Folk Festival, 2nd-5th

This
autumn, the concert halls, pubs and streets of Cork will be ringing
with the sweet sound of folk music, both traditional and modern.
Whether you’re a dyed-in-the-wool folk fan or newbie to the genre,
if you’re in town during this festival,
your toes will be tapping along in no time.
If
you choose Cork for your next weekend break, you’re bound to return
home with fond memories of a city that really knows how to let its
hair down.
