Puck Fair
Puck Fair (Irish: ''Aonach an Phoic'', meaning "Fair of the He-Goat", 'poc' being the Irish for a male goat) is reputed to be one of Ireland's oldest fairs. It takes place annually for three days beginning on the 10th of August in Killorglin, County Kerry.
==Description==
Every year a group of people go up into the mountains and 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 the goat "King Puck".
The "King" is then put into a small cage on a high stand for three days, and on the 3rd day of the fair, he is brought down to be led back to his mountain home. In the middle of the town square, he is crowned and this signifies that the festivities may begin. The pubs stay open until 3.00 AM, which is a legal exception due to the fair as all bars in Ireland normally must close at 2.00 AM. This is a source of contention with the local police.
