Sounds From A Safe Harbour: Secret cocktails and sunset market among pop-up food events
Some of the food pop-ups at Sounds From A Safe Harbour 2025
It’s safe to say that Sounds From A Safe Harbour (Sept 11-14) is a pretty unique festival, certainly in an Irish context, if not globally, but this year’s iteration has added a whole new layer of ‘flavour’. Cork-based online food influencer Bryan ‘Sunshine Primo’ Rudd curates a special food programme to take place at pop-up venues around the city.
The festival programme of music, film and visual arts and culture has always incorporated food elements in the past, including The Last Supper: Ireland X Iceland, an incredible collaborative dinner by three Michelin-starred chefs, Cork’s Rob Krawczyk (Restaurant Chestnut, Baltimore) and Takashi Miyazaki (Ichigo Ichie) along with Icelandic chef Georg Arnar Halldórsson in the River Lee Hotel, back in 2023. This year, Rudd’s All Killer, No Filler approach is brought to bear on an especially vibrant offering.
