Cork on a Fork Fest celebrates Cork’s distinctive food identity - from its world-class produce, to top-rated restaurants, talented chefs, and deep-rooted food traditions. As a farm-to-fork destination since its origins as a trading port in the 10th century, Cork has led the way in Ireland’s modern speciality food movement and has more artisan producers than anywhere else in the country.  From Atlantic seafood and artisan cheeses to spiced beef and tripe and drisheen, this is a city where food tells a story.

With almost 100 events, Cork on a Fork Fest 2025 is shaping up to be the most extensive yet. Organised by Cork City Council in partnership with local businesses, the festival is supported by Fáilte Ireland, Pure Cork, Cork Airport, Cork Business Association, IHF Cork, and others.
