They’re marking ten years of foodie fun this year.

And the folks behind the Irish Yogurts Clonakilty Street Carnival have enlisted a special guest to help lead the family-friendly fun in the buzzy West Cork town on Saturday, June 13th.

This milestone year will feature special guest star, Irish former rugby union player, Simon Zebo, alongside performances from headline acts including, ‘Live Forever’ Oasis Tribute Band – the definitive tribute to the iconic Manchester super group Oasis, The Kates and Black Apple Bastrds, with a packed programme of free live music, street entertainment and family-friendly activities throughout the day, all set in a fully pedestrianised town centre.

Pearse Street will be transformed into a colourful, bustling food hub, with long communal tables stretching through the town centre.

Food ticket holders can expect mouth-watering dishes prepared by the region’s top chefs from award-winning restaurants, hoteliers and food producers from 3pm until 5pm, with everything from curries to fresh local seafood, as they enjoy West Cork’s largest outdoor dining celebration.

Children’s activities will start from 11am from Astna Square, Clonakilty, with free music and entertainment all day long in the town centre.

“The day is all about bringing people together, celebrating local food producers and showcasing the very best talent within West Cork and Ireland.” said Zebo.

“From my time on the pitch, community was everything, and you can feel that same spirit within the Clonakilty Street Carnival. Everyone from families, neighbours, volunteers and local businesses, all pulling together in the same direction to make something very special happen. It’s not only about what’s on the plate, it’s a celebration of the people behind it all and the stories they bring to the table.”

Entertainment on the day is free and open to all, with Adult Food tickets (€25) and Kids tickets (€10) available here.
