A mouth-watering programme of events has been unveiled for this year’s Waterford Festival of Food which promises to attract thousands of visitors to the south-east and provide a major boost to the local economy.

The 4th annual festival, which will be held in Dungarvan from April 14th to 17th, sees the return of many popular events but also includes exciting new elements including a Food Camp, BBQ by the Quay and a Mind/Body/Spirit event.

A host of celebrity and local chefs will be on hand to whip up some exciting dishes at cookery demonstrations, and Sunday will feature a Farmers Market Extravaganza in Grattan Square with the best of artisan food produce from the South East.
