Cork City Parks

Cork City Council has officially launched the Blackpool Village Core Concept Design and Implementation Strategy setting out a shared vision and programme of projects to support the regeneration and renewal of Blackpool Village Centre.

Cork city will host one of the country’s finest and longest-established music festivals, the 47th Cork Folk Festival, this weekend, October 8-11.

Cork City Council has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2026 Public Sector Digital Transformation Awards for its innovative work on a public lighting data and software project that has transformed how it manages more than 26,000 lighting assets across the city, and which has delivered almost €470,000 in savings and avoided costs.

More than 100 Mayors, Deputy Mayors and elected representatives from 60 cities in 22 countries have united behind a bold political commitment to accelerate local action on climate and health.

Cork City Council is hosting mayors, political leaders, environmental experts, practitioners, as well as community representatives from across Europe and beyond for the World Health Organisation’s (WHO’s) Summit of Mayors on Climate and Health, at Cork City Hall this week.
