Lord Mayor’s Charity Ball 2026 Announced

14/04/2026

The Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr. Fergal Dennehy, is delighted to announce that the Lord Mayor’s Charity Ball 2026 will take place on Friday, 12 June 2026, at the elegant Vienna Woods Hotel, Cork.

This much anticipated black tie gala event promises to be one of the social highlights of the year, bringing together members of the public, business community, and civic life for a memorable night of celebration, generosity, and entertainment, all in support of four outstanding local and national charities:

  • Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind
  • St. Luke’s Home, Cork
  • The Life Centre
  • Horizons Cork

Guests can look forward to a sparkling evening beginning with a drinks reception, followed by a superb four course dinner, a lively raffle with fantastic prizes, and a night of dancing and entertainment with the hugely popular live band Route 66, renowned for keeping dance floors full into the early hours.

Speaking ahead of the event, Lord Mayor Cllr. Fergal Dennehy said:

“The Lord Mayor’s Ball is a very special occasion in Cork’s civic calendar, and I am thrilled to invite people from across our city and beyond to join us on 12th of June. This year’s chosen charities do extraordinary work, changing lives and strengthening our communities every day. My hope is that this will be a joyful night that not only brings people together, but also raises vital funds for these organisations. It promises to be a fantastic evening of great food, great music and great company, all for a great cause.”

Guests are encouraged to embrace classic black tie elegance and enjoy a relaxed yet glamorous night in one of Cork’s most beautiful hotel settings.

Tickets are expected to be in high demand, and early booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. Individual tickets and tables are now available and make an ideal option for friends, colleagues, and organisations looking to enjoy a memorable night while supporting meaningful causes.
