Each summer, the owners of Burren House, which overlooks Courtmacsherry Bay, hold an open-air opera to raise funds in aid of the Courtmacsherry Lifeboat.
Annually in August, Kilbrittain Village hosts a Family Festival which draws large crowds.
Kilbrittain is twinned with Sagra, a village in Alicante, Spain.
In the summer of 2011, a short film 'The Blow-Ins' was shot in Kilbrittain and Courtmacsherry. The Kilbrittain Whale featured in the film. The film is currently in post-production and due to be released early 2012.
