Puck Fair is one of the oldest fairs in the country, going back to the early 17th century. The tradition of catching a wild male (Puck) goat and crowning him king may go back much further, perhaps to pagan times.

The 3 day festival has a horse fair, a cattle fair, a Funfair music, open air concerts, lots of family entertainment, street stalls, food, drink, a fireworks display and lots more.
There is a great carnival atmosphere on the streets of Killorglin and Puck Fair 2019 is expected to be as good as ever.
