Puck Fair

Puck Fair, which takes place from the 10th to the 12th of August, is an annual three-day family-friendly street festival unlike any other! Every year, a wild mountain goat is crowned king of Killorglin, Co Kerry, by the Queen of Puck, who is traditionally a young local schoolgirl. There is a coronation parade, and King Puck reigns over the town until his dethronement on the final day of the festival. It's an unusual festival concept, but it never fails to provide excellent entertainment and create a buzz around Killorglin.

The coronation of the goat is just the beginning of what Puck Fair has to offer its visitors. From horse and cattle fairs to trade stalls and family events, there is something for everyone. There is never a dull moment during the three days of the festival because it is jam-packed with various forms of entertainment. Music and circus workshops, traditional Irish music and dancing, night-time concerts, and pipe bands, to name a few! Children are also entertained with a variety of fun activities such as face painting, clowns, puppet shows, and fancy dress.

Every year, the end of Puck Fair is celebrated by a stunning fireworks display, the ideal climax to a wonderful festival. It is the ideal occasion for the entire family to spend time together and have a wonderful time. Killorglin is a wonderfully lovely town with plenty to do and see.
