Heritage Week in Cork City, August 17 to 25, 2024

Welcome to National Heritage Week 2024

Heritage Week is back and Cork city is celebrating by organising a jam-packed fun filled programme of events!

National Heritage Week, an initiative by the Heritage Council, celebrates all things heritage and is coordinated in Cork City by the Cork City Council Heritage Officer. It brings together communities, families, organisations, cultural institutions, academics and enthusiasts, to build awareness about the value of heritage and support its conservation. See www.heritageweek.ie for listings of all events taking place in Cork during Heritage Week.

Welcome to this guide for events taking place during National Heritage Week 2024! It is exciting to see the events taking place exploring the theme of Connections, Routes and Networks which takes a deeper look into many different things that connect us – roads, rivers, lineage, shared interests and much more. I want to acknowledge the work of local authority heritage and biodiversity officers but also the dedicated volunteers from a variety of communities working in heritage who have created the events listed in this guide. Their efforts ensure not only that our heritage is preserved, but that new generations can explore and learn about our heritage. Remember, events will still be added up until the start of National Heritage Week on heritageweek.ie , so make sure to visit the website to view all events and online projects for your area. You can also create your own events trail from the website with a personalised calendar of events.
