We are back! After a two-year break, I’m delighted to
welcome you to the 13th annual West Waterford Festival
of Food weekend.
This year our programme is packed as always and brings you lots of exciting events. The
weekend markets will bring a wide range of food to sample and buy direct from the producers,
and give our visitors the chance to discover what is so tasty about this unique part of Ireland:
WELCOME - FÁILTE
nestled between the mountains and the sea, on some of the finest and most beautiful agricultural
land in Ireland. We believe West Waterford has been a tourism secret for too long and we want
to reach as many people as possible, both locally and beyond and to truly put West Waterford
at the centre of the Irish foodie map.
As conversations around sustainability, the environment and how we protect and love the
landscape we call home become ever more urgent we are exploring what it means to be
sustainably Irish and sustainably local in this year’s Festival. We want to shine a spotlight on our
naturally produced, healthy and wholesome food to show how delicious such food can be. After
the last two years of us all becoming better home cooks there is a deeper understanding of the
importance of our food, where it’s from, how it’s prepared and ultimately how it can bring us
together and help us through the toughest times.
We hope you will find this year’s festival programme enticing and fun, whatever your age
and tastes are. With discovery events for children, foraging walks, deliciously decadent feasts
and some new and quirky ways to get you talking over food, we know there’s something for
everyone to enjoy.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of Waterford City and County
Council or the producers, chefs, makers, supporters, funders, sponsors, venue hosts, friends and
volunteers, and all those who have stayed with us - or more recently joined us on our journey.
Like a Festival, the production and creation of food is a team effort and so we are hugely proud
of all who came together to help make Waterford the current winners of Ireland’s Number One
Foodie Destination award. It’s time to celebrate!
It is a great honour to welcome you to this year’s Festival. It’s going to be a great party
weekend and I hope you all enjoy every minute of it!
