The second annual Midsummer Parade will be a riot of colour, celebrating the creativity and diversity of Cork communities.
Cork Community Art Link’s next extravaganza for Cork Midsummer Festival will delight audiences with their renowned creative vision. A community-centred approach will bring spectacular floats, street spectacle and gripping performances to the heart of Cork City as we celebrate Cork Community Art Link’s 30th year of engaging in cultural and creative democracy within the Rebel City.
Come on a journey and let your imagination explore the stories of Midsummer as told through their ingenious performers, art direction and the engaging voices of valued participants. Over 200 participants will help make the magic, collaborating to create floats, costumes, and performances. Local groups showcased in the parade will include Suisha Arts, Blackpool Community Access Program, National Learning Network, Blackpool Men’s Shed, Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance, CCAL Drama Troupe and many more spectacular community groups from Cork City. This street-art spectacle is family friendly and free, we invite you to get your rhythm on and join the party.
