“As one of the organisers of Quarter 2023, I am excited to experience the atmosphere and vibrant energy that fills the air during this sixth edition of the festival in Cork City. The entire team behind Quarter is bursting with excitement as we prepare for our return after the tumultuous few years we had. Kicking off around the St. Luke’s area of Cork on Friday night, we will be working with many of the venues in Cork City who have been really supportive of our work since we began. “
