Open Streets Events
 

Cork city was buzzing full of life and atmosphere with the kickoff of the first Open Streets event of the summer on Sunday. While the city streets were still accessible to taxis, public transport, and blue badge holders, we got a glimpse of a healthy city free of congestion and reduced carbon pollution where the community could come together to socialise, dance, and play. We look forward to supporting the 4 other Open Streets Events taking place over the summer months:

  • Sunday June 16   - Cork Midsummer Festival Parade on Oliver Plunkett Street along with a performance from street art group Kamchatka
  • Saturday August 24 – North Main Street Carnival
  • Sunday September 1 – Autumnfest - Douglas Street
  • Friday September 20 – Culture Night – Cornmarket Street and North Main Street
