Westport Food Festival bows out for 2019

THE Westport Food Festival will not be taking place this year.

Chairman Eoin McDonnell and the festival committee regret that for a combination of reasons the festival won’t be going ahead in 2019.

In a statement they thanked everyone who has been involved in the festival since it began.

It has been a real celebration of food in Westport, drawing together producers, eateries of all descriptions and people who are just interested in food and its provenance.

Said Eoin McDonnell: “Westport Food Festival has been a mainstay of the summer calendar for the last eight years. It has played an important part in highlighting Westport as a centre of good food and provided opportunities for local producers to develop their business.

“Thanks to everyone who has so generously helped out to make it possible.”
