About the Queen of the Sea Festival
The Queen Of The Sea Festival is an annual mid summer festival held in Youghal Co. Cork run by Youghal Chamber. It is a Family Fun Event with lots of businesses of Youghal helping contribute.
Our big event is the crowning of the Queen Of The Sea with live music this year from Monstaball and a fireworks display after the concert.
With something for everyone, the Queen Of the Sea Festival will not disappoint.
This year we are proudly raising funds for the Youghal Cardiac first Responder & the Youghal Lifeboat
