Baltimore and the Isles have more festivals and other events than almost anywhere else in West Cork and they are a great time to pay a visit. Three different kinds of event take place annually. Festivals celebrate different aspects of culture, music, history, local produce, etc. Activities are primarily about participation, though there is often a spectator element, too. Regattas feature rowing or sailing races and are big occasions for the village or island as a whole. Click the name of an event below for more information.
