As well as the headline fireworks show, there’ll be live music, family entertainment and plenty of opportunities to soak up the unique atmosphere on one of Cork’s most iconic landmarks.
How do I get there?
To get to this unique event, visitors will embark on a ferry journey across Cork Harbour, one of the world’s largest natural harbours, before exploring the fort, museums and exhibitions, as well as the island’s stunning walking trails with breathtaking views as the sun sets before the main event, with the fireworks display to take place once darkness falls.
Return boats will commence after the fireworks display and depart every 10 minutes. Visitors are advised to check their ticket times for the return boat.
Tickets are available now from €30 per adult, €25 per child from the Spike Island website.
