The Shenanigans are back — and more gloriously doolally than ever!
Get ready for the most colourful, chaotic, and joy-filled parade of the year - as we take to the streets with exuberant passion, energy and vivid imagination.
Join over 120 eccentric makers and performers on a fantastical voyage through Cork’s city streets. Expect dazzling floats, wild contraptions, and stunning costumes in this unique and unmissable celebration of Midsummer for revellers of all ages.
This madcap adventure wouldn’t be possible without the extraordinary creativity and collaboration of the Shenanigans’ extended family. Friends and partners, including Cope Foundation, Ballyvolane Hub, Blackpool Community Access Program, National Learning Network, Cork Simon, Enable Ireland, Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance, The Quinn Family, CCAL Drama Troupe, and many more.
Catch them while you can — before they disappear on their next wild expedition!
Cork Community Art Link invites you to join the parade finale in front of Cork City Library on Grand Parade.

Big axe. Big muscles. Big existential dread. CHOP is a violently stupid and stupidly violent dive into fragile
