Cork on a Fork Festival has announced an opening night street feast on Princes Street. The ticket only outdoor event, ‘A Flavour of Princes Street’, takes place at 6pm on Wednesday 16th August and will celebrate the tapestry of flavours and experiences found on the vibrant street. There will be drinks on arrival, live music, great food, and a festival atmosphere. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly after last year’s hugely successful long-table style dinner on the street.

Cork on a Fork Fest takes place from 16th-20th August and will see the city transformed into one big food festival for the week. The flavour-packed festival programme includes more than 100 food events, including tasting trails throughout the city, cooking demos, masterclasses, street events, bite size talks, symposiums, unique dining experiences and specials to appeal to all tastes, interests and ages.
