Dingle Food Festival

What to Expect

The Dingle Food Festival celebrates the culinary traditions of the Dingle Peninsula with three days of tasting, workshops and family entertainment. Over 70 venues across the charming fishing town - ranging from boutiques and art galleries to traditional pubs - participate in the famous Taste Trail. Visitors purchase a book of Taste Tickets and swap them for small tasting portions at participating venues, sampling everything from local seafood to artisan producers. The festival also features opening and closing gala parties, cooking masterclasses, food workshops, children’s events, street entertainment and a market stall area.
