The Puck Fair is celebrated for unknown reasons, but there are many creative theories behind its existence which makes it unique. Most of the theories go along the lines of goat saving the country of Ireland and from then on he is praised as king every year to honor his bravery. The first day is called "Gathering Day", the second is called "Fair Day", and the third is called "Scattering Day". During the capture (Gathering Day), a hunt is organized a couple days before the fair to capture a full-grown, male, wild goat. They take him back to crown him the king of the town for three days. The last two days are pretty self explanatory. The goat is well fed, has regular check ups, and treated with much respect. The goat is dressed in royal cloth and hoisted 40 feet in the air. He is truly treated like a king. Public houses and barware open at all times during the festival to celebrate the crowning. Everyone is laughing and entertained. There are many festivities such as dancing, eating, a horse fair, street performances, and merrymaking.
