The sun has barely set on the hugely successful Waterford Festival of Food and we are overwhelmed with all the anticipation for next year’s festival.. so save the date for 25th -27th of April 2025
Festival organisers are delighted with the energetic and positive feedback and huge success of this year’s Waterford Festival of Food. The 2024 festival hosted a record attendance of more than 75,000 people, the largest in its 15-year history . The 16th Waterford Festival of Food will take place from the 25th to 27th of April 2025
Positioned firmly as one of Ireland’s largest and longest running community food festivals, this year’s Waterford Festival was packed with a hugely diverse and ambitious programme of food and fun events. More than 80 free and ticketed gatherings took place, largely centred around the scenic harbour town of Dungarvan which is the main hub for the 3-day festival. Waterford’s enormously impressive food heritage took centre stage, with progressive cultural and community events themed around local producers providing an informative and entertaining mix.
In the days following the wrapping up of the 2024 festival attendees, market stallholders, food businesses, the local community and media have extended a hugely positive reaction to this year’s festival and communicated clearly on how already they are eagerly anticipating next year’s festival! So, for now, save the date for next year [25th to 27th of April 2025] and stay tuned to the festival’s social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, X and Tik Tok. We can’t wait to see you all again!
