Waterford festival to serve up a culinary feast

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.

The programme begins tomorrow evening when county mayor Nora Flynn and town mayor Damien Geoghegan unveil the festival mascot.

Waterford county manager Ray O’Dwyer said the festival plays a key role in tourism development in the county and generates a lot of revenue.
