Puck Fair is one of Ireland’s oldest fairs. It takes place annually for three days on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August in Killorglin, County Kerry. Every year a group of people go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. The goat is brought back to the town and the “Queen of Puck”, traditionally a young schoolgirl from one of the local primary schools crowns the goat “King Puck”.
I wrote (and illustrated) about the Puck Fair in my book Island of Adventures. Read more about the book here.
