Cork Ska & Reggae Festival

Cork Ska & Reggae Festival A celebration of Ska & Reggae in Cork City, 2025 edition July 25th-27th Future plans bring exciting times for the Ska and Reggae community.

Cork Ska & Reggae festival partnered with Risings Sons Brewery is filling the gap in the cities festival market which has been long overdue for a good foot stomping and jamming summer vibe party. Crane Lane Theatre & The Pavilion will have live music and DJ's throughout the weekend with late closing each night until 2.30am Friday & Saturday and 2am Sunday. Cork Ska & Reggae festival is reviving a

scene that has never grown old and some of the bands are still around, live and gigging in 2023 as they did in the Cork Arcadia ballroom back in the late 70's/80's such as The Specials, The Beat and many more. This festival has one united goal to fulfil , Spreading a "One Love" vibe and uniting people though the power of music and dance.
