Savour Kilkenny

Kilkenny City

22 October 2010 - 25 October 2010

Keep the October Bank Holiday weekend free for the Savour Kilkenny Food Festival - Ireland's biggest celebration of real Irish food bringing visitors on a fun, fascinating and future-focused journey from farm to fork. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Kilkenny Castle, the festival centrepiece will be a bustling open-air market on the Parade plaza where visitors can taste and buy the best of local and regional produce while street performers, musicians, and face-painters provide the sights and sounds. Savour Kilkenny is about celebrating the whole of Kilkenny’s food heritage and so events will be held in Castlecomer, Thomastown and Callan. The festival will also showcase the newly formed Kilkenny Food Trail which has 38 members throughout the county. The festival will also be liaising with local heritage, arts and crafts organisations to bring a truly creative edge to the event. A particularly vibrant strand of the festival are the Savour Kilkenny events that take place in cafes, restaurants, hotels and foodshops throughout the county. Last year’s festival included a mediaeval banquet, paella parties, wine tastings, sustainability talks, Thai cooking, pizza making and much more. The event will give people a chance to appreciate Kilkenny's heritage, culture and personality through its food, with something for all the family. It’s more than a festival, it’s a movement and we hope you’ll join us on our journey.
