A huge food festival will see a 100-seat Cooking Marquee erected on Emmet Place
All of our best chefs are on board.
The city will be transformed into one big food festival for five days in August for Cork on a Fork Fest, the highlight of which will be a 100-seater Cooking Demo Festival Marquee erected on Emmet Place outside Cork Opera House.
On Saturday, August 19th, food fans and curious home cooks can grab a seat inside and enjo demos and talks by leading names in Cork food, including Michelin chef Takashi Miyazaki of Ichigo Ichie, Michelin-rated chef Aishling Moore of Goldie, Clare Condon of Good Day Deli, Brian Murray from The Glass Curtain, Darren Kennedy of Sage, and William Murray from Currabinny.
All the events will be free to attend, supported by Fáilte Ireland, Ireland’s Ancient East and the Wild Atlantic Way.
The demo day is just one of almost 100 food events and unique experiences planned by Cork City Council as part of Cork on a Fork this year.
A Festival Market will take place on Emmet Place, SoulCanvas, A Night of Yoga, Art, Music & Food, will take over at Crawford Art Gallery with The Yoga Tree and The Green Room Cafe and Cork’s most fashionable folk will be heading for Sketch for A Feast of Fashion Brunch in The Imperial on Sunday, in partnership with Opera Lane and local boutiques.
Shauna Doyle will host a ‘Corkchella’ festival picnic at the stunning gardens of Gabriel House, St Lukes, whilst The Montenotte will host an exclusive Summer Champagne Afternoon Picnic in their Victorian sunken gardens.
There will also be daily food trails throughout the city with different themes from Cork history; a wine trail, vegan food, and a fish trail, all with a local and sustainable focus.
The full programme can be found on corkonaforkfest.ie, with new events being added throughout the summer.
