The weather gods are set to look favourably on tomorrow’s highlight of the fifth annual Waterford Festival of Food, with thousands expected to flood into the streets of Dungarvan to sample the best in artisan fare.

Thousands of foodies are expected in Dungarvan this weekend as the fifth Waterford Festival of Food celebrates the best of local artisan food producers.

An award-winning food blogger and writer will return from her adopted home in London to her native Dungarvan next month to help showcase the best of local food and pass on some of her expertise.

A COCKTAIL of culinary treats will be served at the third Waterford Festival of Food in Dungarvan this weekend. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will be worth an estimated €500,000 to the local economy.
