The Ultimate Guide to Food and Drink Festivals Ireland 2023

Food and Drink Festivals Ireland 2023

Updated May 2023 (First Published January 2023) 

So here’s an idea for a new show – me, yes me, and my family, in a campervan – you know one of those massive luxury ones, with room for a pony kind of thing, but sustainable, because that’s very important. Anyhoo me and my family,… EATING and DRINKING our way around the Food and Drink Festivals in Ireland 2023, for the year like!

Although we might need to pre-pack some food for the spring and winter months, as there are little to no food festivals planned thus far.

As I said before, many moons ago, there’s a gap in the market for great ‘Spring Food & Drink Festivals’ and ‘Winter Food Festivals!

And on that note of a lack of festivals during certain months, it has been sad to witness the loss of so many wonderful food and drink festivals over the past few years.

Curating this Food and Drinks Festivals Ireland guide back in 2019, and even 2020, was a very different affair to the one you see here today in 2023.

But I’m hopeful that the festivals featured below confirm their dates for this coming year of 2023, and for this guide to grow by welcoming back old festival favourites and greeting new ones.

If your food and drink festival, or your favourite food and drink festival isn’t featured in this guide, but you’d like it to be, please email edwina@thelifeofstuff.com with the details.
