Get a taste of Cork's Food Culture
13-17 August 2025
Cork on a Fork Fest returns to Cork City from August 13th–17th with a jam-packed five-day celebration of Cork’s vibrant food culture and heritage, celebrating the region's talented chefs, unique dining and hospitality experiences, and local produce.
Nearly 100 events will take place across the city, offering everything from exclusive chef collabs and pop-up dinners in unexpected locations to street feasts, food trails, and tasting tours. Emmet Place will be buzzing all weekend with free cooking demos from well-known chefs, bite-sized talks, and a local food market. Add to that a full family-friendly programme and hands-on workshops, and there’s something to suit all ages and palates.
Home to award-winning chefs, top-rated restaurants, beloved cafés, lively pubs, a thriving outdoor dining scene, and 60% of the country's artisan producers, Cork is Ireland’s most exciting culinary destination.
Cork's food roots run deep. Cork has been a farm to-fork destination since its origins as a trading port in the 10th century, and led the way in Ireland’s modern food movement. From Atlantic seafood and artisan cheeses to spiced beef, and tripe and drisheen, its food really tells a story. You’ll discover something delicious around every corner of this world class gastronomy destination. Come hungry. Leave inspired.
A Cork City Council festival in partnership with local hospitality businesses. Follow our social media channels @corkonaforkfest for the latest announcements. Please note photos and videos may be taken at events for festival promotion. Please notify a member of staff if you do not wish to feature.
