Puck Fair is an annual event held in Killorglin, County Kerry, with a history dating back over 400 years. The fair centers around the capture of a wild goat, which is crowned ‘King Puck’ and placed on a high platform in the town square. The origins of Puck Fair are steeped in local legend and historical accounts, with various theories explaining its inception as a combination of pagan, Christian, and economic traditions. The most popular story of the fair’s origin features a lone goat breaking away from its herd who are fleeing towards the mountains in order to warn the inhabitants of Killorgl
