Maylor Street Open Streets popup play

Date: 28/03/2026
Time: 1:00 pm
Place: Maylor Street, Cork City

Let’s Play Cork, in association with Cork City Council and the Cork Business Association, invite you to come out to play on Maylor Street on Saturday, 28th March. With a street full of games, chalk art, and more, young and old can join in the craic. And it’s not just confined to the streets — many of the local shops are joining in with playful offers, discounts, and fun ways to engage in-store.

This playful takeover is part of Open Streets Cork, a movement that reimagines our city streets as shared spaces for people — not just for cars. By giving priority to play, walking, and cycling, we’re highlighting how small changes in how we move through the city can make a big difference for community connection, climate adaptation, and cleaner air.Expect colour, laughter, and creativity around every corner as Maylor Street transforms into a hub of imagination. From giant board games and spontaneous performances to playful pop-ups and surprises for all ages, there’s something for everyone. So grab a friend, bring your curiosity, and travel sustainably to join us in celebrating a greener, more playful Cork.

Event runs from 1pm to 3pm.
