Cork Midsummer Festival

Cork Midsummer Festival returns with two lively weekends packed with art, theatre, music and community celebration. This much-loved cultural highlight brings national and international artists to the heart of Cork, blending bold creativity with family-friendly fun across the city.
This year’s programme includes open-air performances, circus, storytelling and interactive installations perfect for children and their grown-ups. From puppet theatre in Fitzgerald Park to musical parades through the streets, the festival is as much about play as it is about performance. Families can explore art trails, try hands-on workshops and soak up the festival atmosphere in venues and public spaces across the city.
With so much to see and do, from pop-up surprises to full-scale productions, Cork Midsummer is a brilliant way for families to connect with culture in a fun, welcoming environment.
