Come enjoy Christmas in Cork as A Cork Christmas Celebration presented by Cork City Council returns to the Grand Parade and Bishop Lucey Park. With over 150,000 visitors last year, this year’s festival featuring the best of local artisan food and crafts producers at the Christmas Markets and the magical Christmas Lights in the Park will be bigger than ever.

Wander though the Christmas market on the Grand Parade, seeking that special gift or stocking filler while sampling tasty tidbits from local food producers.

Enjoy vintage carousel rides and choral performances, sipping on some mulled wine. Come meet the Sugar Plum Fairy as you post your letter to Santa as Bishop Lucey Park transforms into a beautiful illuminated park inspired by the Christmas story The Nutcracker.
