A look back at Cork Midsummer Festival 2026

As the dust settles on another Cork Midsummer Festival, we are absolutely buzzing after 10 magic days across Cork city.

We are blown away by the support of audiences who filled theatres, venues, streets, parks and forts for morning gatherings, afternoon performances and late-night dancing - resulting in record-breaking ticket sales and attendance at this year’s festival.

Thank you to the amazing artists and teams behind them who shared their work with us - we are so grateful that you did.

Thank you to our principal funders The Arts Council and Cork City Council, to all of our cultural partners in the city, and to our sponsors, friends and patrons. We couldn't do it without you.

Thank you for playing with us, we hope you'll join us again in 2027!
