Puck Fair – in Irish this is Aonach an Phoic, meaning “Fair of the He-Goat” is one of Ireland’s oldest fairs. Every year a goatcatcher goes up into the mountains to catch a wild goat. The goat is brought back to the town and the Queen of Puck, traditionally a young school girl from one of the local primary schools, crowns him King Puck. This signifies that the festivities may begin! On the 3rd day – minus his crown – he is brought down to be led back to his mountain home.
