CORK Harbour’s open day this Saturday, September 4, will be a great opportunity for the people of Cork to see all the wonderful amenities along the coastline.

The Strategy for Cork Harbour which was completed in May 2008 highlighted the need for those involved in the development and use of the harbour area to develop a greater appreciation for the value of the amenity and to further promote its use. The open day is a culmination of hard work by a number of interested persons and will be a great family day for everyone.

The open day this year has a variety of events, many free of charge, in every part of the harbour including the opening of Blackrock Castle to the public, crab fishing competition in Cobh, tours of Spike Island, the final championship rowing regatta in Crosshaven and the Word Rescue Challenge in Cork Port to mention but a few.

The open day was run this time last year and was a great success. A group of individuals was formed a number of years ago to organise an event that would contribute to raising awareness of Cork Harbour and showcase the range of uses and activities on offer within the harbour. The day will be a great excuse to showcase the wonderful amenities we have here in Cork for everyone of every age and I really hope people go out and support the event.

Further information about the day and a full list of events can be got at www.corkharbour.ie or by emailing harbourevents@corkharbour.ie
