The Three Oldest Fairs

The three oldest fairs in Ireland are Puck Fair, the Auld Lamass Fair, Ballycastle and the Great October Horse Fair, Ballinasloe. Each year we welcome our colleagues from the respective Fairs to Killorglin for Puck Fair. The Auld Lamass Fair takes place on Monday 24th August and the Great October Fair takes place from 3rd to 11th October.

Puck Fair Shop

The Puck Fair mobile Shop is now located at the top of the town . The shop is open daily and has a wide variety of Puck Fair Merchandise.

Traffic & Car Park Arrangements

Please follow traffic signs and instructions and refrain from parking in no parking zones. These areas are there to ensure the free flow of traffic during the festival. There is ample car parking available in the Annadale Road Car Park (opposite Bianconi Inn), Killarney Road (near Puck Goat Statue) and the Tralee Road. Admission to all car packs is €5. Please ensure to lock all doors and windows when leaving your car and to remove all valuables from view inside your car.
