Puck Fair Parade in Ireland
The parade begins with the crowning of the King Puck, a wild goat who is captured in the mountains and brought to Killorglin for the festival. The goat is then placed in a specially-made cage and hoisted up on a platform in the town square.
The parade itself features a variety of floats, bands, and performers. There are also traditional Irish dancers, musicians, and acrobats. The parade ends with a performance by the Queen of Puck, a young girl who is chosen by the town to represent the festival.
We have been invited to take part in this year’s parade & will be providing three beautiful floats.
