City could reap €2.5m from Harvest Festival

THE Waterford Harvest Festival, which starts tomorrow and runs for nine days, could contribute as much as €2.5 million to the local economy, according to a survey of last year’s festival.

Hot air balloon rides and music from some of Ireland’s best bands will keep festival-goers entertained while they sample a wide range of culinary experiences.

The Stunning, The Saw Doctors and O Emperor will play at the “Big Street Barbecue Gig” at Bolton Street.
