It’s full steam ahead for this year’s Enniscorthy Rockin’ Food Festival, taking place 3-6 August.
Launching this past week, the festival returns to Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, bringing with it 80 vendors taking over the streets and around 120 festival events.
The festival is promising a brand new and impressive schedule of chefs, producers and special guests in the free Food Marquee. For the music lovers, there’s a lineup of free outdoor gigs mixing Irish and international rock ‘n’ roll acts.
For the families and young children there’s also a whole helping of workshops on everything from slime making to pizza making, Lego to cupcakes and puppet making to chocolate.
