The Dingle Food Festival takes place on the first weekend in October every year in the beautiful fishing town of Dingle on the Dingle Peninsula on the Wild Atlantic Way. It is organised by a group of local people on a non profit making basis. Locals call it ‘The Best Weekend of the Year’. The town comes alive with locals and tourists alike. Everyone comes home for the Dingle Food Festival and tourists come from far and wide across the globe that weekend just for the festival. Highlights of the festival include Cookery Demonstrations, Taste Trail, over 50 Market Stalls, Workshops, Street Entertainment, Children's Events, Whiskey/ Wine Tastings, and much much more. The festival committee is aiming to make the Dingle Food Festival waste free.
