Puck Fair 2026
Killorglin, Co. Kerry | 10th – 12th August 2026
Puck Fair returns to Killorglin from 10th to 12th August 2026, continuing one of Ireland’s oldest and most unique festivals. Dating back hundreds of years, the three-day celebration is famous for the crowning of King Puck, a wild mountain goat, and attracts thousands of visitors each August to experience its distinctive mix of tradition, music and community spirit.
Gathering Day on 10th August begins with the traditional Horse Fair before the Coronation Parade sees King Puck crowned above the town square. Fair Day on 11th August transforms Killorglin into a bustling open-air festival with the traditional cattle fair, hundreds of market stalls, street performers, live music, family entertainment and funfair attractions filling the streets throughout the day. The festival concludes on Scattering Day, when King Puck is ceremonially returned to the mountains following another full day of celebrations.
Across all three days, visitors can enjoy more than 12 hours of free family entertainment each day, with musical acts, theatre, comedy, markets, children’s attractions and live performances taking place throughout the town. The festival ends in spectacular fashion on the evening of 12th August with a fireworks display lighting up the skies over Killorglin, bringing another memorable Puck Fair to a close.
