Visitors to Cork Week will be able to enjoy the festival atmosphere onshore, and for people who want to make their visit to Crosshaven even more memorable, there are fantastic BBQ packages available. Cork Simon Community will host a Fundraising Lunch on July 15th and many, many more events are planned onshore as competitors battle it out offshore on the waters of what is acknowledged as one of the greatest natural harbours in the world.
