One of Ireland's oldest fairs, Puck Fair celebrates the crowning of a wild mountain goat as king. The event includes traditional music, dancing, and a lively street fair atmosphere. The first day of Puck is known as “the gathering”. On this day the Puck goat is enthroned on a stand in the town square and the horse fair is held. The second day of Puck is known as the “Fair Day”. On this day a general cattle fair is held. The third and last day of Puck is known as the “scattering” day and on this day the goat is removed from his stand and his reign as king Puck ends and he is returned to the wild Kerry mountains.
