About Cork Céilí Mór 2005

On 10th September 2005 over 10,000 people will attempt to break the world record for the largest céilí ever. Seven stages will be set up on Cork's Grand Parade and South Mall in preparation for a day of festivities that will go down in history!

Participants from all walks of life and from all over Ireland and beyond can register online, in person or over the phone (details below). Dancers must be in place by

The fun doesn't end there, however: top céilí bands, brought to you in association with the Cork Folk Festival, will be playing throughout the afternoon to continue the celebration of Cork spirit!

No experience required just come along and BE A PART OF IT!
