Cork City will be playing host to World Social Media Day on 30 June.
The highlight of the day will be a team event consisting of two trails around the city, one focusing on the city’s history and the other on ‘adventure’. Both trails come with with a series of tasks that are unlocked when a team ‘checks in’ at certain venues using smartphone apps.
The history trail is aimed at anyone looking for a around the city and will be guided around to several historical spots. Once a team arrives at a location they will have to check-in online and gather select information about that spot to complete the task.
The adventure trail will include tasks such as a man vs food challenge in Sober Lane; the Danny la Rue Drag Race in The Roundy; and the Rory Gallagher Air Guitar challenge.
At certain points, both trails overlap and a number of some Irish celebrities from radio and TV will be appearing to help the teams along.
Margaret Smith, chief organiser of World Social Media Day Cork, said: "Since the launch of World Social Media Day Cork back in April we have received so much support from the people of Cork, its great to have the backing of so many wonderful local businesses and to be able showcase Cork’s rebel spirit."
