A full-day fundraiser will take place on November 30th at DeBarra’s in Clonakilty, intended to raise money for Palestine.

From November 28th to 30th, a series of events and fundraisers titled ‘West Cork for Gaza’ will occur throughout the region, uniting the community to raise funds to try help alleviate some of the immense suffering of the people of Palestine.

This will culminate in the ‘Palooza for Palestine’, a day-long celebration of music, comedy, literature, and community activism running from 12 noon until 11pm that night, with every cent raised going directly to support humanitarian efforts via The Tea Collective.

The historic 200-year-old venue will be transformed for the day, with every room filled with live performances, acoustic sessions, spoken word, DJ sets, and recitations.

With tickets costing €50, guests will hear from artists like Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill, with comedy courtesy of David O’ Doherty and Sinéad Quinlan.

Music is also on offer from the likes of Charles Hendy of The Mary Wallopers, Paula K O Brien, The Ceili Allstars, Martin Leahy, Gavin Moore, Mide Houlihan, Fir Beag, Abair Amhrán, The Mountain Common, and DeBarra’s Fireside Orchestra. 

Literary offerings come from Louise O’Neill and Maeve Higgins, with other special mystery guests yet to be announced.

The full schedule will be announced the week preceding the event.

Tickets are on sale now from DeBarra’s.
