Cork Midsummer Festival (CMF) is one of Ireland’s leading international arts festivals, unique in its use of the city as a stage and in the extraordinary creative collaborations that connect art & audiences, artists & communities, Cork & the world.
Every June, the city is transformed into a playground, using heritage sites, cathedrals, warehouses, markets, community halls and the streets themselves as performance spaces. Presenting world class, cutting-edge international work and premiering new Irish creations that push artistic boundaries alongside contemporary plays, dance performances and exhibitions, the festival has built a strong identity around exciting interdisciplinary events, bringing together artists and ideas that defy categorisation.
Interactive and immersive performances give audiences the opportunity to shape and create a truly unforgettable arts experience. It is this remarkable cultural mix that reflects the city’s personality – playful, bold and curious.
