Sarah Jane Summers at 2006 Fiddle Fair

baltimore wooden boat festival 		The villages of West Cork love a party but Baltimore and the Islands have more festivals than anywhere else. We have so much to celebrate!

The tradition of boatbuilding is remembered at the Wooden Boat Festival and the facts and myths of the O'Driscoll clan are celebrated every June. Homage is paid to the bounty of the sea during the Seafood Festival; fiddle music fills the square in May; stories are told on Cape Clear in September. There are fish to be caught during the Angling Festival and races to be won at Baltimore Regatta. Cape Clear Regatta, Sherkin Regatta, anyone getting tired?

Check with the pubs and hotels for music listings during the summer.
