At aspect of the festival, boys wearing caps and braces and ladies in aprons and hats push outdated-fashioned prams by means of the streets giving out sweet apples, crubeens and chester cake to the community.
Basic Supervisor of the Cork Global Lodge, Eoghan Murphy reported, “The organisers of the Coal Quay Spouse and children Pageant have succeeded in preserving the memory of their ancestors alive above the very last 10 decades. They are very worthy winners of the Cork Global Hotel Community Spirit Award. The persons powering the festival are passionate about boosting recognition of just how really hard the women of all ages worked – paying out six days a week at their stalls in all types of weather to be ready to feed their people. They also produce a great atmosphere in the Coal Quay and bordering locations. This year was the 10th anniversary of the festival and the Shandon Bells chiming with the Financial institutions of My Possess Pretty Lee could be listened to across the city.”
