Known throughout Cork for its spectacular fireworks display, Cobh People’s Regatta encompases the whole weekend and is jam packed with free family friendly entertainment. The added bonus of the magnificent Royal Princess at the quayside throughout Saturday, the addition of a best dressed lady competition and perennial favourites such as the crab fishing event make Cobh a destination that should be visited on the weekend of 14th, 15th and 16th August 2015.
