With around 100 free events throughout the city and county, the festival usually sees festivities spill out onto the streets with impromptu performances in pubs, cafes, restaurants, churches and libraries not uncommon. 

All in all, it sounds like absolutely great craic. The festival takes place from Wednesday April 26 to Sunday April 30. More details can be found at Corkchoral.ie.
