Cork on a Fork Fest will be returning to Cork City and the wider region from 13 to 17 August. The five-day festival showcases Cork’s food scene, highlighting chefs, dining experiences, and local produce.
This year’s programme includes dining experiences, chef collaborations, street events, food trails, tastings, talks, family-friendly activities, and live demonstrations.
“Our chefs and food producers are passionate about sharing their craft with both locals and visitors, and Cork on a Fork Fest is a fantastic platform to showcase this vibrant industry,” said the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Dan Boyle.
“I encourage everyone to take part, whether in a small or big way, as together we can strengthen Cork’s position as a world-class gastronomy destination.”
Cork on a Fork Fest is inviting Cork City businesses and food producers from the wider Cork region to get involved. Businesses can take part by curating special festival events, hosting tastings, leading demonstrations, collaborating with guest chefs, or showcasing their produce.
The deadline for participation is Thursday 17 April, and businesses are encouraged to reach out to corkonaforkfest@gmail.com with expressions of interest as soon as possible.
Organised and supported by Cork City Council, the festival is made possible through partnerships with local businesses and key industry stakeholders, including Fáilte Ireland, Ireland’s Ancient East, Pure Cork, Cork Airport, the Cork Business Association, the Irish Examiner, Cork’s RedFM, and the Cork branch of the IHF.
Many events will be free to attend, while others require advance booking. The programme will be launched on 7 May.
