The Lord Mayor’s Gala Christmas Concert returns to Cork City Hall on Saturday 5 December 2026, celebrating its 64th year. This year’s theme is “Coming Home for Christmas”, and the evening is a charity event in aid of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Cork Stroke Support.
The concert will celebrate the magic of returning to treasured Christmas memories, family and friends. The message at the heart of the evening is that wherever life may take us, there is something truly special about coming home.
The line-up features Cork Concert Orchestra, Mary Hegarty, Emma Nash, Dan O’Keeffe and the City Hall Singers. A special highlight this year will be the first ever appearance of the renowned White Horse Guitar Club at the Gala Christmas Concert.
As is tradition, the concert is a charity event. Lord Mayor Cllr. Damian Boylan has chosen the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Cork Stroke Support as this year’s beneficiaries.
The concert has been a sell-out event in recent years. Tickets are available from the Everyman website and Pro Musica, Oliver Plunkett Street.
