years from 2019-21, as it continues to grow and evolve and in other coastal loca-
tions in the future. With such a fantastic line-up of free and fun events across the
three days designed to educate, engage and entertain the whole family, SeaFest
2019 in Cork is set to be a magnificent maritime celebration.”

There will be fun and free activities in the dedicated Kids Zone, along with touch
