“They want to thank 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.”

Billed as a showcase for the best of Mayo’s food producers, restaurants, chefs, baristas and more, the festival had it’s first outing back in 2011.

“Westport Food Festival has been a mainstay of the summer calendar for the last 8 years”, said McDonnell.

“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.”
