Puck Fair Gallery

For three days every August, Killorglin transforms. A wild mountain goat is crowned King Puck, the town square fills with market stalls, and the streets become a stage for musicians, performers, and festival-goers from all over. Puck Fair is one of Ireland’s oldest festivals, dating back centuries, and its mix of tradition and spectacle makes it a unique photographic subject.

This gallery captures the atmosphere and traditions of Puck Fair, including:

  • The crowning of King Puck, a ritual that has endured for generations.
  • The lively street scenes, from market vendors to performers and festival-goers.
  • The energy of the fair, with celebrations that stretch late into the night.

Some images in this gallery are available as fine art prints, carefully printed to highlight the atmosphere and detail of this historic festival. Available prints are clearly marked.
