Cork Harbour Festival began this long weekend with the spectacular rowing and paddling race, Ocean to City, on Saturday 3 June. Over 550 international and national participants in a diverse array of craft conquered the Rás Mór under a bright blue sky, and the event was a huge success.

The sunny spell continues and so does Cork Harbour Festival – with events running daily until Sunday 11th of June. There are still over 60 exciting events on offer, with many of them FREE and some also ticketed.
