This summer solstice, fantastical floats, puppets, masked performers and all manner of musicians, dancers and revellers take to Oliver Plunkett Street for a unique performance in the celebration of the longest day of the year and the creativity of Cork communities.
Commissioned by Cork Midsummer Festival, Cork Community Art Link (creators of the annual Dragon of Shandon) lead the development of this new parade, collaborating with local community groups and organisations such as Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance, Suisha Creative Arts and Cork Samba Band as well as over 100 local participants to create parade floats to fill the bright Midsummer night with real Cork colour.
Cork Community Art Link is the leading practitioner in participatory and street arts in Cork, and has been nurturing the arts in the city for 30 years.
