Circle August 27th – 29th on the calendar.

Cork city’s architecture, design, and food festival, Design POP, is set to return to the streets of Cork with three days of architectural pavilions, events, talks, exhibitions, and conversations.

Following the postponement of the 2020 festival due to the pandemic, organisers have endeavoured to create an event with health and safety in mind, that will still allow for meaningful connections and engagement.

Design POP 2021 will focus on learning, collaborations, and conversation around important social, sustainable and environmental topics.

““The Design POP team and I are all really looking forward to the festival this year and excited to show the public what we have been working on for the past few months.” said Festival Director Amy McKeogh.

“We have seven amazing architect, designer and food collaborations working on seven different pavilions, which will be situated in different locations around Cork. The architects and designers are currently developing and finalising their pavilion designs, while collaborating with the food producers, who are working on the public interactive element of the structure.

“Along with the pavilions we are excited to share the line-up of over 25 guest speakers, seven pavilions and different events happening around the city over the weekend.”

The Design POP programme will be announced mid-June, with tickets going on sale at the same time at designpop.ie.
