Who said? “I think that ‘slimmed down’ was said in a day when there were a few more people to make that seem like a justifiable comment.”

Curious kids and fun-loving families won’t popping up at Fitzgerald Park in Cork from June

10 to 11.

The two-day free family festival in Fitzgerald’s

Park will be transformed into a 12-acre science super park for the weekend.

More than 25,000 people attended Cork

Carnival of Science in 2022, making it Ireland’s biggest outdoor STEM engagement event.

And organisers have confirmed that this year’s festival will be even more of a ‘blast’ with 45 different Stem-based activities, 26 live seated shows in Little Top Tents, demonstrations throughout the scenic park, scientists on stilts, the animal roadshow, interactive stands, an active zone, microscopic wonders, and discoveries big and small along the way — all for free.

This year’s event will also put a strong focus on climate action.

And with street cuisine, picnic benches, a gigantic playground, extensive gardens, the Cork Public Museum and Café all on site, it truly makes for the ultimate family day out.

Adrienne Rodgers, Director of Services at Cork City Council, commented, “The Cork Carnival of Science not only helps to stimulate an interest in science from an early age, but the carnival atmosphere makes it one of the most exciting family events on Cork’s social calendar. It is the perfect blend of science education and entertainment.”

Accessibility is a key focus to ensure enjoyment for all, and in consultation with the Deaf Community in Cork, provision will again be made by Cork Carnival of Science to ensure sign language interpretation is available at live show performances and for ad hoc requests.
