On Sunday May 19, the first in a series of Open Streets events will take place on Cornmarket Street, and will feature performances from big brass and percussion band Boola Boom and alternative Trad band Damhsa Liomsa & members of the imrov band Gotha.
Cornmarket Street will become a dance floor from 1pm to 5pm. Live bands and DJs will provide beats and rhythms to as diverse a range of dance genres as Cork has to offer. From salsa to set dance, hip hop to jazz, belly dance to Kizomba, disco to rave – there will be infectious beats on the streets to get your feet moving.
There will also be fun and games on North Main Street with Let Play Cork organising some games for young and old alike. There will be a mini cycle village on St. Patrick’s Street, with various types of bikes on show including adaptive bikes as well as other cycling activities.
