Have a food event happening in 2025? Now’s a good time to reach out and let me know. If you’re a journalist looking to publish or borrow this list, it might be nice to let me know too đ
Plenty of the annual events will be back, from Taste to Savour to everything in between, but if you’ve got something happening on the food front in Ireland that you would like to list, and the event is available to the public (not a member’s only or exclusive offering), then let me know the details by email.
