Cork on a Fork Fest is a Cork City Council Festival that runs from 13-17 August 2025.

Immerse yourself in Cork’s vibrant and unique food culture as the city comes together to celebrate our culinary excellence, local produce, and buzzing dining and nightlife scene. With Cork home to the majority of Ireland’s artisan producers, expect to sample the very best from regional growers, farmers, and makers.

Over five days, locals and visitors alike will savour the essence of this authentic and multicultural gastronomy destination through exclusive dining experiences, food events, talks, cooking demonstrations, a full children’s programme and festival fun.

Organised by Cork City Council, the festival is run in partnership with local hospitality businesses, Fáilte Ireland, Ireland’s Ancient East, Pure Cork, Cork Business Association and Cork Airport.
