The Cobh Peoples Regatta 13th – 15th August 2010
Cork Harbour is the second biggest natural harbour in the world and a perfect location for the oldest regatta in Ireland – the Cobh Peoples Regatta!
Every August the harbour becomes the focal point for Cobh’s regatta, where small local sailing and rowing craft gather for races and not to say the least some craic agus ceol.
During the 3 day festival you'll find live music in the island's many pubs and clubs and maybe spot the odd fire-eater.
